Briefings Direct

Welcome to the latest BriefingsDirect SOA Insights Edition, Vol. 15, a weekly discussion and dissection of Services Oriented Architecture (SOA)-related news and events, with a panel of IT analysts. In this episode, recorded March 23, 2007, our experts examine the burgeoning role of SOA Architect. Joined by Steve Nunn, vice president and COO of The Open Group, and John Bell, an enterprise architect at Marriott International, we examine how deep business knowledge, technical savvy, and strong interpersonal skills need to come together for SOA architects. So far, there are not enough to fill the job openings, spurring more certification and training. We also look at SCA/SDO moving to OASIS, and Microsoft's role in federated SOA. Please join noted IT industry analysts Jim Kobielus and Neil Macehiter for our discussion, hosted and moderated by Interarbor analyst Dana Gardner.
