The 14th International SOA World Conference & Expo 2008 West will take place on November 19-21, 2008 at The Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, CA.

The most important business benefit that service-oriented architecture (SOA) can provide is the ability to respond swiftly to change: changes in the market, the supply chain, strategic processes, regulations. Make sure that you are able in 2008/9 to declare your own company's SOA journey toward such responsiveness and agility a success. Come to SOA World Conference & Expo 2008 West and learn just how much SOA can do for your business and for your developers.

There is no other event in the USA with as rich and varied opportunities for learning, networking, and tracking innovation occurring in the IT infrastructure, architecture, and standards communities. The speakers are all seasoned SOA practitioners with a passion for helping to usher in the new era of IT agility made possible by standardized best practices, pervasive communication & data protocols, and a general movement toward openness and interop in the industry.

Come benefit from their passion at SOA World Conference & Expo 2008 West, co-located with DataServices World 2008 West and the 4th International Virtualization Conference & Expo. Make November 2008 the month you secure your technology path to a more flexible enterprise!

SOA by the Numbers
by David Linthicum

In this keynote presentation we'll take the mystery out of SOA requirements, design, and implementation, not just by providing hype-driven concepts, but a step-by-step approach for building a SOA that works each and every time, no matter how complex or simplistic the problem domain, business issues, or technology solution. This keynote is a must attend for those looking to get SOA right the first time.
