Companies are grappling with the best way to implement the rapidly growing Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach to distributed computing, including Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), SOA Fabric, and other means to implement SOA. To address these issues, ZapThink is hosting the industry's key luminaries on this topic - Gordon Van Huizen from Sonic Software and Frank Martinez from Blue Titan - on its May 4, 2005 ZapForum Webcast entitled "The Great Debate: ESBs, Fabrics, or Something else?"
"There's way too much inconsistency in how companies are defining and tackling the various methods for implementing SOA," said Ronald Schmelzer, senior analyst with ZapThink, LLC. "We hope to settle some of the issues around ESBs, SOA Fabrics, and other modes of implementing SOA once and for all on our May ZapForum Webcast."
Run like a call-in radio talk show, the ZapForum Webcast starts with thought-provoking content lead by ZapThink SOA experts Jason Bloomberg and Ron Schmelzer. After this session, the ZapForum Webcast will feature the guest experts who will present, speak, and take Q&A from online attendees. Throughout the Webcast, attendees will be invited to call-in with their questions, comments, and experiences. Attendance at each Webcast is free and open to all registered ZapThink users.
