Architecture Framework for the Agile Service Oriented Enterprise
Wednesday 24th April, Duration: 1 day
Summary
A one day workshop presenting architecture approaches that enable and govern the agile, service-oriented enterprise.
Workshop Description
The world today is fast moving, driven by the combination of business and technology that delivers continuous business improvement. New architecture approaches are required that enable rapid response to business demand yet ensures minimum necessary governance to avoid anarchy and manage risk. This is only achievable when the architecture is service oriented at all levels from business through to infrastructure. This is much more than SOA as it is widely practiced; it is embracing pervasive service orientation.
