Calgary, Alberta – September 26, 2005 - Online Business Systems, a North American provider of business and technology integration solutions, is hosting a half-day Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) forum on Thursday, September 29 at the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre. Guest speakers Ronald Schmelzer and Jason Bloomberg, internationally recognized ZapThink analysts, will bring insight on the business impact of SOA and guide attendees through a roadmap to a successful SOA implementation.
Bloomberg and Schmelzer will present case studies and discuss solutions for tactical issues organizations face when implementing a SOA. “As companies move to adopt a Service-Oriented Architecture, their application development process will change,” said Bloomberg. “It's crucial for developers, business users of information technology, and the consultants that serve them to understand the changing nature of applications and the process for creating and managing them in the context of SOA.”
“SOA represents the biggest change in enterprise IT since the advent of the Internet. We are eager to share the lessons we've learned and help our customers understand how to use XML, Web Services, and SOA to meet their business needs," said Joe Schaab, Vice President, Online Business Systems. "As thought leaders in the integration arena, we are pleased to have the opportunity to host this informative forum with senior ZapThink analysts and enable a greater understanding of the benefits of SOA.”
