I'm posting an article that my colleague and myself were interviewed for. The interview was held before the Israeli Business SOA conference, where I also delivered a presentation about Microsoft SOA strategy which is part of a bigger initiative called Connected Systems.
The article discusses:
- The motivation for organizations shifting their systems to service oriented approaches
- The 4 pillars of service orientation
- Microsoft Technologies that support SOA - WCF, BizTalk, Workflow Founcation, the .NET Framework, Visual Studio, HIS and more.
- Connceted Systems Initiative as a much broader scope than SO.
- Case Studies in Israel and abroad for SOA implementations: Dell, Mirs, HP, Citigtroup etc.
The full article is in Hebrew, so sorry for the non-Hebrew speakers :-)
