I will be speaking at the Microsoft SOA and Business Process Conference in Redmond on January 28th on the “SOA and BPM Best Practices” track. My talk is titled "Lessons from Trenches: A Real World SOA Story" and will focus on a major enterprise SOA project I worked on recently.
The objectives of the talk include:
- A discussion around the organizational, technical and political challenges inherent to distributing business processes across geographical business assets and business units of varying maturity.
- Provide insight and guidance directly from the field on how to bring business, technical and vendor teams together to achieve the shared vision and promise of SOA using state-of-the-art technology from Microsoft and the .NET partner ecosystem including specific discussions around WCF and Neuron ESB.
- Provide real-world metrics from this success story that can be used to plan and measure success in your SOA initiatives.
