Recession or not, there's more to SOA than.. (The World of SOA and EDA)Is SOA only about cost control and efficiency? Maneesh Joshi thinks otherwise. "SOA has a lot more to offer than just that.

Business-Driven Architecture has a strong bias to action, business opportunity, and project and portfolio advancement."Brenda Michelson's post is two years old, but still on target.(tags:...

I got word from Oracle ACE Director (Fusion Middleware) Chris Muir this morning about an interesting milestone. Chris and other members of his Oz-based outfit, SAGE Computing Services (including Oracle ACE Penny Cookson), worked closely with fellow Oracle ACE Director Lucas Jellema and his compadres at Netherlands-based AMIS to design a new five-day Oracle training course for end-users of Oracle JDeveloper 11g and its associated ADF Business Components and ADF Faces Rich...

Todd Biske: Outside the Box » Blog Archive » Don’t Go On an IT Diet, Change Your BehaviorTodd Biske on IT investment in the downturn: "Priorities have shifted to where cost containment and cutting are at the top of the list. While the knee-jerk reaction is to stop investing in any long-term initiatives, this could be a risky approach. If I don’t eat for 4 days, I may quickly drop the weight I need to, but guess what? I still need to eat. Not eating for 4 days will only make...

The Application Server and SOA | JAVA Developer's Journal"While a governance process and an enterprise service bus may both distinguish SOA from other architectural approaches and be crucial in SOA's success,"writes JDJ's Larry cable, "the focus on these distinguishing and valuable characteristics of SOA seem to overshadow all else - so much so that one could be forgiven for forgetting the 'services' themselves, and the crucial role and capabilities of the container(s) and...

They should not be resistant to change, they need to be resilient to change. This is the fundamental driver behind SOA.

There were two big clues that the first OTN Architect Day, held in Boston last week, was a big success. The first was the larger-than-expected turnout, despite yet another day of frigid temperatures in what the Boston natives I spoke with described as the worst winter in memory. The second clue was that the typical 2:00 pm fade-out that often thins the herd at similar events never happened.
