IT Happening...: Building SOA solutions and managing the service lifecycle.

Is your business moving in one direction, but your IT in another?

Business innovation demands IT innovation. That’s why your role as an IT leader, manager or influencer has never been more important, or under greater scrutiny.

To remain relevant to your organization, you need to identify new, better ways of delivering IT services to your business. To develop new expertise, and align IT initiatives more closely with business needs. And, to discover new software architectures, technology and tools that can transform IT barriers into enablers.

Find out how you can align your IT to your business today.

IBM can provide you the insights needed throughout every each stage of your journey. We have arranged a succession of learning and experiential workshops that will take you through the Discovery, Planning and Design stages of your IT-to-business alignment initiatives.

Building SOA solutions and managing the service lifecycle.

Date: 7 August 2007
Venue: Garden Terrace, Four Seasons Hotel
Time: 08:30-13:00

What is this session about?

Your business has decided to implement SOA to cut through complexity, reduce application silos, leverage component-based Web services and evolve systems without ripping and replacing your infrastructure.

Yet, without a structured and disciplined approach, your SOA initiatives may overrun budgeted timelines and cost, and fall short of expected returns.

Through this session, IBM will help you establish greater service orientation with the foundation for fast SOA payback and high value. Learn about IBM's experience in almost 2,000 successful SOA engagements. Get an in-depth look at IBM's SOA lifecycle approach, with emphasis on SOA quality management, to ensure that your SOA projects have the greatest chance of success.

What will you get out of this session?

•	Get an overview of the IBM SOA lifecycle approach.
•	Learn more about service planning and definition, analysis and modeling, development, deployment, and versioning through to service retirement.
•	See demos on tools used throughout each phase of the SOA lifecycle, such as Rational Web Modeler, WebSphere Business Modeler, Tivoli Composite Application Manager, and many others.
•	Best practices and recommended approaches to implementation.
