Briefings Direct

Welcome to the latest BriefingsDirect Analyst Insights Edition, Vol. 36, a periodic discussion and dissection of software, services, SOA and compute cloud-related news and events with a panel of IT analysts. In this episode, recorded Jan. 12, 2009, our guests examine what keeps SOA alive and vibrant, the ability for the architectural approach to grow inclusive of service types like service-oriented communications (SOC). We also visit the purported demise of large-scale SOA to calibrate the life span of SOA -- dead or alive? Please join noted IT industry analysts and experts Todd Landry, vice president of NEC Sphere; Jim Kobielus, senior analyst at Forrester Research; Tony Baer, senior analyst at Ovum; Joe McKendrick, independent analyst and prolific blogger; Dave Linthicum, founder of Linthicum Group; JP Morgenthal, senior analyst at Burton Group, and Anne Thomas Manes, vice president and research director at Burton Group. Our discussion is hosted and moderated by BriefingDirect's Dana Gardner. Read a full transcript of the podcast: http://briefingsdirect.blogspot.com/2009/01/briefingsdirect-analysts-discuss.html.
