WSO2 Webinar on June 14, Explores SOA Governance Best Practices for RESTful APIs, API Consumers, and Developers Using the WSO2 Governance Registry and WSO2 API Manager Palo Alto, CA – June 7, 2012 – Increasingly, organizations are adopting the Representational State Transfer (REST) paradigm to implement enterprise applications and facilitate effective communication between systems. However, as integration moves from service-oriented architecture (SOA) services to RESTful service APIs, organizations demand governance practices across these interactions to mitigate risk and maximize business performance. To facilitate this effort, WSO2 will present a free webinar on how developers can apply governance practices to their RESTful APIs using the WSO2 Governance Registry and new WSO2 API Manager (currently in beta). The one-hour technical session, “WSO2 Advantage Webinar: Apply API Governance to RESTful Service APIs using WSO2 Governance Registry and WSO2 API Manager," is being held on Thursday, June 14, from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Pacific.
