InfoWorld, the leading provider of comprehensive technology intelligence, today announced two conferences for senior technology and business decision-makers that focus on the corporate value of evaluating and implementing service-oriented architecture (SOA). Called SOA Executive Forum, these one-day workshops take place on May 5 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, CA and on May 17 at Le Parker Meridien Hotel in New York City. BEA Systems, a world leader in enterprise infrastructure software and major advocate of SOA, is the cornerstone sponsor of the events.
InfoWorld's SOA Executive Forum focuses on the needs of IT professionals dealing with complex multi-vendor environments. The events provide an arena for peers and industry experts to come together and understand the benefits of SOA. Service-oriented architecture represents the biggest change in enterprise IT since the Internet. With SOA, applications are treated as services requiring a transformation in the technical approach, IT workflow, and business planning processes.
