Plenary Session: SOA and the Future of IT
May 16, 2006, 4:30pm - 5:20pm
Speakers:
  • Randy Heffner, Vice President, Forrester Research, Inc.
SOA is critical to the future of your business because SOA-based business services are your firm's business capabilities in the digital world, available to any customer, partner, or business process when and where they are needed. But SOA is not enough. Your business processes use a plethora of technologies, and you need an architecture vision that spans them all -- portals, rich clients, RFID, sensors, voice communications, instant messaging, business intelligence, content management, data grids, compute grids, automated IT management, and more. This session will outline the strategic impact of SOA and introduce Forrester's Digital Business Architecture, which organizes this broader range of technologies into a coherent vision for the future of IT.
