Medium and Enterprise class businesses have a greater need to deliver, share an automate data and services successfully across their organisations for lower cost and higher levels of business service.
We will provide an overview of the current state of Software plus Services (SaaS) which draws together the terms of Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). To make sense of this complexity we discuss key service architecture principles, policies and patterns, benefits of standardization in each of the key SOA disciplines of service modelling, service provisioning, data concurrency, orchestration, management and security.
Microsoft have recently announced BizTalk Server 2006 R3 and we will cover key features in both R2 and R3 which allow Enterprise level data and service delivery, including RFID.
As Service buses are becoming more ubiquitous, the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a key technology that can be used to rapidly deliver data across an organisation, with a low cost of implementation. Service buses are based on technologies that include Identity, Connectivity and Workflow. We will also introduce the concept of an Internet Service Bus(ISB) , which provides core framework enabling a new generation of applications outside the firewall that are not practical or cost effective to have today and how the inclusion of these service buses can simplify the concept, development and deployment of a SOA solution based locally or in the cloud.
This session will then focus on BizTalk Server 2006 R2/R3, the Microsoft ESB Guidance pack and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) together, and the ways you can use them to start implementing service-bus patterns today and with a view to the future.
SOA and BPM produce a series of problems for IT relating to the management, ownership and governance of a disparate set of assets both internally and externally to the organisation. We will provide an overview of techniques and tools that can be used to contain these problems, including using SCOM 2007, SOA guidance and other tools.
We will also be looking into the future towards Oslo, Microsoft’s key investment to deliver both world class SOA platform across client, server and cloud and the tools used to model, describe that platform and to allow collaboration between IT and The Business. Oslo will involve orchestration technologies: BizTalk Server and BizTalk Services, development technologies: the next generation of .NET and Visual Studio, and management technologies based on System Center.
Product: BizTalk 2006 R2/R3, RFID, ESB, WF, WCF, Oslo (the future of Connected Systems).
