Sonic Software, BearingPoint Inc and Sun Microsystems have joined forces to deliver a seven-city Architect Forum on service-oriented architecture (SOA). Following a highly successful 10-city tour in October, these invitation-only, half-day events will provide IT architects with an exploration of SOA best practices among experts and peers. The forums, led by experienced Sonic, BearingPoint and Sun SOA professionals, will include an opening presentation from Sonic Software chief technology evangelist David Chappell, author of the first and definitive book on ESBs. Additionally, the forums will feature SOA success stories, and a technology demonstration featuring the Sonic ESB product suite with Sun's service-oriented development (Java Studio Enterprise) and deployment (Java Enterprise System) platforms as well as the Solaris 10 operating system on a variety of x86-based platforms.
