Session Abstract: There is nothing hollow about the promise of unprecedented agility, flexibility, and software reuse through SOA. But too many SOA initiatives fail because organizations try to make the leap to SOA without strong management of the underlying architecture. SOA is worth the effort, but it won't rescue an enterprise architecture in disarray. This presentation will explore patterns and best practices that focus on SOA as an integral part of a well-managed enterprise architecture. The presenter will examine service and architectural design, deployment, governance and management, and offer tips for getting started, keeping things on the enterprise architecture track, and measuring the results.
