[WSO2Con US 2013] Re-Thinking Enterprise SOA & IT Governance
- WSO2Con2013 USA
- WSO2Con - WSO2
Enterprise SOA is a design pattern where you build re-usable functions or activities as a set of self-contained, loosely-coupled services. IT governance focuses on direction and control of operations, by granting people rights and responsibilities over processes, while conforming to a series of policies.
SOA governance has been in existence for over five years; however, most enterprises have not reaped all its benefits. Complexity of requirements, diversity of tools, and implementation costs are examples of several roadblocks faced. In this session, Senaka will discuss these challenges and highlight WSO2’s strategy in re-thinking how enterprise SOA and IT governance tie-up together.
