A few months ago, I was approached by Diego Dagum, a dear friend and a great architect who also happens to be the Editor-In-Chief for the MSDN Architecture Journal . Diego asked if I would like to work with him on the SOA edition for the Architecture Journal as a Guest Editor-In-Chief. Looking back, I’d say it was a great experience to be able to impact the contents and vision of such an important edition that reaches 10,000s of architects around the world. The result was an Edition that discusses...
In the last month, I found out that more and more customers want to hear about the benefits we are about to reveal in Visual Studio Team System 2010, also known as "Rosario". Team System 2010 is what we call a MAJOR release with many important features. However, if I want to summarize the benefits in two words, I would definitely say Architecture & Testing. Microsoft has put a lot of effort and innovation in the Architecture and Test Editions which makes them market leader products...
Recently, I've been asked by one of our customers about what is Microsoft doing in the spaces of EII and MDM.

Before I answer these questions, here's a short recap about the terms: EII – Enterprise Information Integration - A software that combines various data sources at an enterprise level in order to support applications that present...
This is the first time that I'm using my blog to write about the D&PE Division I'm part of in Microsoft Israel.

To do that, we work with the ones developing the future projects and those are the developers, architects, R&D managers and even the executive levels when it comes to business development. Recently...
Diego Dagum, my friend, and the Architect from Redmond responsible for the MSDN Architecture site has uploaded my ESB/SOA/S+S talk to the MSDN Architecture site - "A walkthrough towards SOA and S+S" The recording is from Finland. I encourage you to go to this link and see the meat behind the buzzwords and how they can be implemented in organizations today. This is the site screenshot as of November 10th, 2007:
For long months, I have been talking about the ESB Guidance that Microsoft is about to release to the public as a solution on top of BizTalk 2006. Till now, the ESB Guidance was only available for Microsoft partners and on special cases, so it was really hard to imagine what is does. So, now Microsoft released the ESB Guidance to CodePlex and you can start using it. The Microsoft ESB Guidance provides architectural guidance, patterns, practices, and a set of BizTalk Server and .NET components to...
Microsoft’s Architecture Journal is a quarterly magazine, providing a world-class forum for the publication of unique articles on how good architecture can help create great implementations. Microsoft’s Architecture Journal is available as a printed subscription (you can order your own here ) and also online here Although we've only just finalized Issue #11, in order to hit TechEd dates this year I'm now looking for abstracts and ideas for Issue #12, the theme of which is Web Architecture (think...
3 weeks ago, Ron Jacobs, the host of the ARCast show came to Israel for a pretty packed visit. It was a one-of-a-kind visit, so I want to share with you what we did but in an opposite chronological direction: Thursday Feb 1st: The visit's highlight was the delivery of the " Software Architecture Essentials " workshop to about 110 new architects that were not registered as architects in our repositories. The workshop was intended for team leaders and senior developers or even managers who wish to...

Measure Success with Software Factories and Visual Studio Team System Software factories and Visual Studio Team System can be used together to improve quality, predictability, and productivity.

A few weeks ago, I was invited by my colleague from Microsoft Poland to speak at their main event, Microsoft Technology Summit 2006 . This is the biggest event (so I was told) in Western Europe with 2000 attendees inside the most characteristic building in Warsaw, the palace of nature and science. The palace is a gift that was given to the Poles from the Russians. It is interesting to see that in the past, nations donated buildings and statues to their allies -> for example, the statue of liberty...
