Michael DeSanti, a partner with Eikos Partners, New York, spoke at the Web Services/SOA on Wall Street conference here and said Microsoft's .Net Framework 3.0 meets the needs of financial services firms trying to build extensible SOAs.
DeSanti said the .Net Framework 3.0 and its components—the WCF (Windows Communication Foundation), WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation), Windows WF (Workflow Foundation) and CardSpace—enable Microsoft to meet real-world SOA needs.
"Is Microsoft ready" for SOA, DeSanti asked. "Yes, they are. Microsoft has a solid set of offerings in the SOA space," he said.
