APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE
AND DEVELOPMENT
As
organizations progress with their service
oriented architecture (SOA) initiatives,
the need for strong governance and development
processes is more important than ever. Burton
Group recommends that organizations adopt
a "back to basics" mindset and
reevaluate their current processes. Catalyst
Conference will address this important topic
by focusing on emerging trends in application
architecture and development.
This In-Depth Area will include discussions
on these important issues:
- SOA Governance: What are
organizations doing to ensure that SOA
efforts will be successful?
- Software Development
Lifecycle (SDLC): What impact does SOA
have on the SDLC? What new practices are
organizations adopting to deal with the
increased complexity of reusable services
and heterogeneous, distributed systems?
- Open Source: What are
the risks and rewards of using open source
software? What are best practices for
using open source software?
- Offshoring: Does offshoring
really save you money? How can you mitigate
the risks associated with offshoring?
