Feel free to comment, I would love to here your comments on the agenda.
See you all in Eilat...
During the last months, we have been doing quite a few events for customers and partners that want to learn more on Microsoft and SOA.
The SOA Round Tables
No, it is not King Arthur's round table meetings. Nevertheless, it is a recurring 4-hour event that we drive here in Microsoft for specific vertical markets (Government, Defense, Hi-Tech, Healthcare and more).
The round table is intended for a small group of 10-15 people (This is why it is a round table and not an auditorium) who want to influence the SOA initiatives in their organizations.
If you want to learn more, here are the links to the presentations covered in the round table:
- SOA Vision and Roadmap (30 Minutes) Guy Hilton, Product Manager, Microsoft Israel
- A walkthrough with SOA and S+S towards Agility (90 Minutes) Eliaz Tobias, Software Architecture Consultant, Microsoft Israel
- ESB Infrastructure and SOA Case Studies (45 Minutes) Ariel Itzhaki, CTO, Benefit-SI
More on our SOA Open Houses, SOA Courses and the unique SOA track in the coming Tech-Ed will be posted in the next posts
