Service Oriented Architecture and Composite Applications - An Executive Review

The University of St. Thomas and Sun Microsystems invite you and your IT leadership to be a part of an interactive discussion regarding Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Composite Applications. In this discussion, you will learn how these technologies and techniques enable process and information integration to support today's continually changing business environments.

At this seminar, you will learn that process and operational integration can be best achieved through implementation of a Service-Oriented Architecture and Composite Applications. You will see that SOA is the architectural style most effective at leveraging and integrating multiple, diverse applications and databases, while Composite Applications leverage SOA to integrate programs, people and processes so that you can offer business capabilities that weren't possible before.

Ross Altman, CTO - SOA and Business Integration for Sun Microsystems, will address the current state of business integration, offering a broad view of how SOA can help you deliver operational and process improvement. Ross was a former vice president and research director with Gartner, where his research focused on the use of integration middleware to support composite applications, straight-through processing and business process management. Drawing on this background, Ross will discuss the value of having a coherent, systematic approach to information and process integration that allows your resources to be best deployed in support of operational efficiency.
