Aligning Business and IT — Underlying business and technical dependencies for successful SOA implementations

Michael Warrilow
Principal Analyst
Hydrasight

Hydrasight research indicates that less than half of enterprises in Australia and New Zealand are currently using SOA in production. While the number is higher among larger organisations, the research also shows that the perception of SOA among current adopters is somewhat optimistic - or at least unproven at the current time. Organisations are often prematurely moving from SOA analysis and design to SOA based infrastructure management, performance assurance, service measurement, and chargeback.

So, who is using SOA and where are the real business benefits? This presentation will look at current adoption trends, organisational SOA maturity, and the underlying business and technical dependencies.

Find out how organisations should bridge the business/technology gap to stop SOA being seen simply as just another "(S)eriously (O)verhyped (A)cronym".
