Service-oriented architecture (SOA) and the enterprise service bus (ESB) will be top-of-mind during the 2005 Global Integration Summit this week in Banff, Alberta. Sonic Software (www.sonicsoftware.com) executives, in addition to several of the company's customers and business partners, are featured speakers and moderators at this year's event, including AltaGas CIO Dave Watt, who will deliver a keynote address titled "Watch out for the COW Paddies!!!!!"
Abebooks.com CIO Jayson Minard will present a case study on how his company is adopting the ESB to support broad-scale SOA-based integration. Abebooks.com, which is the world's largest online marketplace for books, is using an SOA to manage its supply chain integration, which includes over 100 back-end systems, 13,000 suppliers, five major reseller partners, and their own e-commerce presence. Online Business Systems (Online) Delivery Manager David Neufeld will present a case study of a joint Sonic-Online client, the City of Seattle. The City of Seattle Justice Information System (SeaJIS) project provides a foundation for cross-jurisdictional information sharing based on Sonic ESB(R).
