Forrester EA Conference San Diego Feb2008
Well, a new beginning for the SOA Ninja. It has been a little while since I last wrote a BLOG entry. In fact, it was Nashville at the Gartner Integration and EA conference. Since then, I have joined Progress Software and since they are platinum sponsors of this conference and it's so close to Tijuana, I thought it appropriate to attend. With that out of the way, I will start with some suggestions.
7Feb Track Suggestions:
9:30 Don't miss the keynote from my CTO Hub Vandervoort. He has a great e-book on Socially Oriented Architecture as well. SOA rebranded!
10:15 meet me in the Technology Showcase, checking out the Vendor booths.
11:00 TRACK B - The Critical Importance of Business Context to Architecture Initiatives, Kyle McNabb, Forrester Analyst.
1:15 CONSELLATION A - IDS Scheer - Enabling EA (I like their products. They have a good story regarding SAP configuration design).
1:55 TRACK C - The Architecture of Dynamic Business Applications, Randy Heffner, Forrester Analyst.
After that, you are on your own. I will check in later today and BLOG key findings from these presentations. Stay tuned. Here are a few random observations already:
- San Diego is a border town and the sound of the gates at the border clacking was odd, especially the long cement corridor posing as a border. No inspections, just walk and be observed. Easy as pie. Coming back is a bit of a challenge but not like Canadian Customs.
- If anyone asks, yes, it’s a real Rolex. At least that’s what they said when I bought it.
- SOA has reached general acceptance. The concepts are riddled throughout the agenda. Very cool! I hope it's not just a passing fad or at least lessons are learned along the way.
Later,
The SOA Ninja
