Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Concepts, Design, and Implementation

Course: SOAI

Duration: 4 Days

Level: I

Course Summary

There is a lot of confusion and hype around SOA. Is SOA "Web Services"? Is it ESB? Is it just for large enterprises? My vendor is telling me I need to buy their BPM tooling. How does SOA relate to BPM? Maybe I'm not ready for this. OK, I get it, but how/where do I start?

This course covers Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) concepts, solution scenarios and business value assessment, adoption approach, planning, technology landscape, and techniques around design and implementation.
