| June 24, 2010 | iTKO Webinar Archive: Addressing a Lack of Capacity: Virtualizing the Performance Lab for Optimal Results With Accenture. Most major enterprises have invested millions of dollars on software performance lab infrastructure. These huge capital investments have developed recurring maintenance effort and costs, unstable environments, and inter-team conflicts over constrained resources. To combat this drain and deliver meaningful value, companies need to find ways to optimize performance labs and add incremental value. By Virtualizing the behavior and performance characteristics of test lab dependencies, Accenture and iTKO have demonstrated how joint customers can achieve highly available labs that allow earlier performance testing with greater flexibility, at a much lower cost. |

| May 27, 2010 | iTKO Webinar Archive: The 4 Catalysts for Optimizing Enterprise Software Development and Testing With Cognizant. Enterprise applications are becoming increasingly complex and distributed. Newer software delivery approaches such as Cloud, SOA, BPM and Agile methodologies offer increased flexibility and agility. However, IT organizations become reactive when feeling the heat of increased software failures, delayed timelines and mounting costs. By mapping out the right mix of virtualization and testing tools, and choosing best practices built for today's applications, the software lifecycle can be optimized. Critical IT functionality can be delivered on time and under budget. This webinar highlights 4 primary catalysts that can proactively optimize software development and testing. |
| March 3, 2010 | iTKO Webinar Archive: "No Free Beer" in Modern and Cloud-Based Application Performance and Quality With Accenture. Today's distributed development and deployment approaches make it much easier to pour "apps on tap" -- rapidly available software components built for flexible assembly as Services or Cloud-based applications. However, there is simply "no free beer" when it comes to consuming these applications for serious business purposes. |
| February 18, 2010 | iTKO Webinar Archive: Aligning Business Goals for Software Quality, Schedule and Cost in Complex IT Environments With Capgemini. Business leaders are constantly seeking new competitive advantages in a rapidly changing marketplace, including advantages provided by new business applications. However, there is a growing gap between business leader's expectations for software quality, adherence to requirements, and on-time delivery versus the reality of what's delivered in an increasingly complex and changing enterprise IT environment. |
| December 15, 2009 | iTKO Webinar Archive: Leveraging Modern Software Quality to Prevent Cost and Schedule Overruns With TCS. Test Smarter, Release Faster, and Achieve Cost Reduction Goals. As the year comes to a close, many organizations are dealing with the difficult reality of cost and schedule overruns in the test and delivery stage of their software projects. Distributed, service-based enterprise applications are being developed and assembled at increasingly high velocity by leveraging reusable components and newer integration technologies. |
| December 1, 2009 | iTKO Webinar Archive: Are Testing Costs eating up your Development Budgets? With CSC. New composite application development approaches such as SOA, BPM, and SaaS can provide greater flexibility and speed in assembling reusable components and services into applications. While platform vendors such as IBM, Oracle, SAP and TIBCO have made innovations that have brought integration time and development costs down, the unintended consequence is that testing these systems is becoming harder than ever. |

Virtual Conference: eBizQ SOA Governance Online Summit SOA crosses departmental and organizational boundaries. The ability to reuse existing services developed by disparate development organizations requires comprehensive governance. Policies need to be consistently defined and managed for how services are designed and utilized during production. This full day virtual conference will cover the full range of governance issues and solutions including IT governance, SOA governance, data governance, registries, repositories, and run-time service governance. Watch the "Roundtable: SOA Governance" in the Conference to hear from iTKO's John Michelsen and other SOA experts, and visit the iTKO booth for more information! |

CM Crossroads Webinar: "Test, Validate & Virtualize for Agile SOA" SOA is a method for aligning technology around the needs of the business that is Agile by nature. However, this decentralized, service-based model will change how we design, develop and deploy enterprise software. With SOA, we are constantly subject to a changing set of services and new business requirements, which introduces huge risks and productivity issues, in terms of quality and interdependency among teams. What does Agile mean in today's Service-Oriented world? And how will Agile teams break the barriers of quality and dependencies that reduce the value of going to SOA? Join iTKO's John Michelsen, Rally Development's VP Products Zach Nies, and the experts at Agile Journal for a unique educational session on SOA Testing, Validation and Virtualization for the Agile practitioner. Learn about the new methods and tools companies are using for flexibly delivering business functionality, while ensuring quality -- without the burdensome constraints of limited access to needed resources. In this Webcast, you will learn:

Podcast with John Michelsen: Minimizing Business Risk with SOA Testing, Validation & Virtualization |
March 12, 2008 |
Adopting a service-oriented approach allows companies "do more with less" and gain agility, by integrating new and existing technologies around business goals. However, dancing with SOA comes with an increase the level of complexity in ensuring quality across the lifecycle of these highly interdependent and heterogeneous applications. Often, development and QA teams do not even have access to all of the components they need to design and develop Services that meet the expected business goals. This webinar will provide best practices and real-world examples of teams that are taking three key steps on the road to SOA, and gaining sure footing as well as trust across teams.

Webinar: The SOA Governance Lifecycle: Managing and Trusting your Architecture |
July 18, 2007 |
Migrating to an SOA strategy offers cost and flexibility advantages for the enterprise. However, to avoid business risk and achieve trust, teams must approach SOA as a continuous lifecycle and not a one-time implementation event. Proper SOA Governance requires continuous testing and management throughout the lifecycle of your applications, not just during development, but beyond deployment. |

With Aberdeen Group. Is SOA Testing the final frontier of SOA Governance? In SOA and composite application environments, research shows that the tools and practices to ensure quality may often lag behind the enterprise's ability to deploy initial Services. What will the impact of this difference be, and how can you take steps to counteract the quality challenge and trust your architecture? |
