SOA, Data Management and Integration Competency Centers
The industry is seeing a ground-swell of additional interest in Integration Competency Centers and an appreciation for data as the industry grows beyond their early SOA implementations. During this session we will look at how SOA has been influencing ICC adoption and Data Management importance as companies grapple with approaching SOA in a way that doesn't just create a newer, faster-growing Integration Hairball.
