iTKO Webinar Archive: "No Free Beer" in Modern and Cloud-Based Application Performance and Quality  March 3, 2010 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. |

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:

SD Times Webinar Archive: Three Steps to SOA Trust: Testing, Validation and Virtualization With John Michelsen, iTKO, and Dave Rubenstein, bzMedia (Moderator). 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.

iTKO Webinar Archive: 'Governance, Quality and Management: The Keys to Trusting SOA' July 18, 2007, with ZapThink, ManagedMethods and iTKO LISA. 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. |

iTKO Webinar Archive: 'SOA Governance and the Continuous Quality Lifecycle of Service-Based Applications' February 27, 2007 with Aberdeen. 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? |
