The 13th International SOA World Conference & Expo 2008 East will take place on June 23-24, 2008 at The Roosevelt Hotel in New York City.

The most important business benefit that service-oriented architecture (SOA) can provide is the ability to respond swiftly to change: changes in the market, the supply chain, strategic processes, regulations. Make sure that you are able in 2008 to declare your own company's SOA journey toward such responsiveness and agility a success. Come to SOA World Conference & Expo 2008 East and learn just how much SOA can do for your business and for your developers.

There is no other event in the USA with as rich and varied opportunities for learning, networking, and tracking innovation occurring in the IT infrastructure, architecture, and standards communities. The speakers are all seasoned SOA practitioners with a passion for helping to usher in the new era of IT agility made possible by standardized best practices, pervasive communication & data protocols, and a general movement toward openness and interop in the industry.

Come benefit from their passion at SOA World Conference & Expo 2008 East, co-located with DataServices World 2008 East and the 3rd International Virtualization Conference & Expo. Make June 2008 the month you secure your technology path to a more flexible enterprise!

New York Keynote

June 23, 2008 7:30-8:20am       Making the SOA Leap by Dr Richard Mark Soley It seems that Service Oriented Architecture continues to be this year's hot buzzword, rather than a well-defined, meaningful and valuable part of the Enterprise Architecture landscape. Before the term fades away, we should agree what's valuable about the move to SOA and how to make the leap. OMG's SOA Consortium is making great strides in defining SOA to be a valuable strategy for business agility.
