Industry analyst Howard Dresner once quipped: “SOA what?” His point? While SOA may offer long-term benefits, most companies operate in the short-term. And in that environment, getting things done quickly can often trump the desire to be strategic. However, several major factors are coalescing, and some say that SOA will be the beneficiary. The rise of Software-as-a-Service, an economic downturn that's forcing cost-cutting, and the increasingly watchful eye of compliance—all seem to be forming the perfect SOA storm. Register for this episode of DM Radio to learn about SOA from the people who wrote the book. Attendees will learn:

WEBINAR: Introducing An Implementor's Guide To Service Oriented Architecture On Demand Moderator: Joe Mckendrick, Independent Analyst and Contributing Editor For the increasing numbers of IT staff that find implementing SOA solutions to be more difficult and time consuming than they anticipated, the leading best-of-breed SOA experts are about to pull back the curtain of complexity shrouding SOA.
The seven contributing SOA expert authors share their collective wisdom in a 100-page book – “An Implementor’s Guide to Service Oriented Architecture – Getting it Right” that covers the practical issues facing technologists when implementing a SOA. Attend this free web conference to get an overview of the book.

On Demand Presenters: Ron Powell, Co-Founder & Editorial Director, B-Eye Networks David Besemer, CTO, Composite Software Composite Discovery is an integrated software and hardware appliance that helps business analysts, managers and analytical business professionals get the important structured data they need when no report exists. Business users must make good decisions and answer day-to-day questions to resolve tough business problems from disparate enterprise data systems that change and grow at near exponential rates. Many business end users under-utilize powerful, yet cumbersome BI and reporting tools because they need a great deal of IT input and assistance before they can be effective at extracting the structured data that would help them most given new or unanticipated demands. Ad hoc tools, like enterprise search, deliver text matches, but are ineffective for revealing structured data relationships that help these users navigate related data in their journey toward the ultimate answer. With Composite Discovery you can discover your answer now. Composite Discovery puts enterprise information at your fingertips by letting you discover both data and relationships, then refine and share results, simply, quickly, from your desktop. PODCAST: Implementing Service Oriented Architecture: Organizing for Success On Demand Presenter: Steven Kahn, Senior Manager, Integration Solutions, BearingPoint, Inc.
In this podcast, enterprise architecture expert Steven Kahn discusses some of the findings that went into the recently published, An Implementor’s Guide to Service Oriented Architecture - Getting it Right, produced by BearingPoint, Composite Software and other contributors. The bottom line: successful implementation of an SOA system is about more than technology. As Kahn explains, challenges in understanding the technology, to developing an IT funding model that will enable it to serve across the enterprise are all critical to success. There are many common implementation pitfalls, but Kahn explains how the process can be made simpler, and hopes to encourage more people to deploy their own SOA. Steven Kahn is a senior manager in BearingPoint’s commercial services business systems integration practice where he works to define and deliver value-driven SOA and BPM solutions. He specializes in enterprise architectures with specific emphasis on enterprise integration and business process management. WEBINAR: To V or Not To V: BI Goes Virtual Presenters: Claudia Imhoff, President and Founder, Intelligent Solutions Robert Eve, Vice President of Marketing, Composite Software Managing critical business data has never been easy, and it's getting more difficult as organizations increasingly need to access and combine growing volumes of data from inside the enterprise and even from external sources.

WEBINAR: Implementing Information-As-A-Service: A Practical Approach Presenters: Noel Yuhanna, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research Robert Eve, Vice President of Marketing, Composite Software Analysts, architects and developers face growing data integration, management, volume, and quality issues, especially as new requirements accelerate and costs become ever more constrained.

Presenter: Jim Green, Chaiman & CEO, Composite Software Enterprises are increasingly implementing service-oriented architecture (SOA) projects because of the greater agility, flexibility, and productivity that SOA brings to a business. However, as with any technology adoption, there are countless details that need to be overcome before the promise of SOA is realized. One of the most difficult challenges is incorporating legacy systems into the SOA environment without needing to change them. In this Webcast you will learn:
Presenters: Claudia Imhoff, Ph.D., President, Intelligent Solutions Many industries are already reaping the benefits of operational business intelligence (BI). For example, on Wall Street, operational BI enables money managers to benefit from intra-day margin rates and thereby optimize their portfolio positions, and pharmaceutical scientists are using operational BI to accelerate the drug discovery process. Regardless of industry or business process, operational BI extends decision-making power to front-line workers and managers. In this Web seminar, Claudia Imhoff, President and Founder of Intelligent Solutions, will share operational BI success stories from several key industries. She will also discuss the market trends and business challenges that are driving the need for this new style of business intelligence. Other key areas she will cover include:
