IONA Sponsored Event


Come hear three perspectives on what it takes shift your SOA projects into high gear.

Time: May 14th, 2007 from 3 pm to 5:15 pm (followed by a cocktail reception)
Location: The Plaza Suite, Roosevelt Hotel, NYC*

Organizations have invested too much time and money in centralized, proprietary software stacks and other costly IT infrastructure products that require big upfront investments, result in vendor lock-in and fail to meet expectations for SOA success.

SOA experts will discuss an alternative approach to SOA that Global 2000 companies are using to accelerate success - a technology-neutral and distributed approach to SOA deployment - that allows organizations to reuse existing IT assets by exposing them as services without additional hardware requirements.

Join IONA, Microsoft and Bank of New York to learn how distributed SOA principles can deliver unprecedented deployment flexibility and help your organization:

  • Minimize your dependency on software stacks
  • Significantly reduce IT complexity by leveraging existing IT systems
  • Lower operational costs and achieve greater ROI on existing and future IT assets
  • Incrementally adopt SOA from both an economic and technical perspective.
  • Eliminate vendor lock-in and future-proof IT investments

After brief presentations and an interactive panel discussion moderated by Eric Knorr, Executive Editor at InfoWorld, join us for a cocktail reception where you can network with your peers and enjoy some light refreshments.
