About The Event

In the current dynamic business environment, management and IT initiatives within an organisation have to be up to date and progressive to be able to meet the overall business objectives of sustainability and growth. Both private companies and government organisations are finding it increasingly important and critical to adapt quickly to customer demands, market opportunities and external threats. This is critical both for survival as well as competitive advantage.

To respond to these issues within an ever changing environment, organisations like yours are increasingly turning to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and process integration as a way to increase business agility and IT productivity.

Understanding the importance of this topic, IIR brings you a highly interactive five-day course on SOA in January 2009. During this course you will get thorough knowledge about:
• Concepts, principles and definitions of SOA
• SOA tools and technology
• Standards and security in SOA
• SOA design and integration

Bear in mind, however, that for effective SOA implementation, the key strategy is to “think big but start small” as this will enable early successes to be built around sound, longer-term principles and architectures.

Who Should Attend?

This course will benefit all professionals involved in developing IT strategy for their company including those responsible for business processes and planning, projects, applications, networks, IT architecture, IT infrastructure and IT strategy.
