Webinar: SOA Governance: The First 100 Days

Date: This event took place on December 18 2007

Presentation:

Description:

Larry Fulton, Forrester Research, and Stephen Bennett, BEA Systems, discuss SOA governance initiatives.

SOA adoption is all about gaining competitive business agility. But as SOA programs expand, the need for effective SOA governance becomes increasingly critical. SOA is a different animal compared to yesterday’s IT infrastructure, with more moving parts, and much more at stake. In the highly dynamic, everything-is-connected SOA environment, governance isn’t an option. It’s not a question of why, but of when and how.

This webinar will address those questions, as Larry Fulton, Forrester Research, and Stephen Bennett, BEA Systems, discuss the critical, real-world steps to take in the first 100 days of your SOA governance initiative. These early steps will help to form a solid foundation for an SOA governance program that keeps people, processes, and technologies focused on delivering business value. Topics covered will include:

• Where to start down the governance path
• Key governance processes based on hands-on experiences
• SOA lifecycle checkpoints and practices for end-to-end governance
• Creating and enforcing governance policies
• Organizing for SOA governance
