conference provides a broad and practical perspective on Enterprise
Architecture, and typically attracts a wide range of speakers and delegates
from around the world.

companies and the public sector. Case studies include HBOS, Lloyds TSB,
Ministry of Defence, The Home Office, Reuters, John Lewis, ABN AMRO, DHL
Express Europe, Office for National Statistics, Guy’s and St Thomas
Hospital, British Energy, NASA, UWV (Dutch Social Security)

SOA BEST PRACTICE REPORT:
SOA TESTING - MANAGING TESTING IN AN SOA ENVIRONMENT
SOA represents a paradigm shift in the way solutions are architected and
delivered. The service is a run time artifact and may be surfaced as a
component, either as the run time invocable capability, and or as the
design time component. Either way SOA is inherently about separation and
this creates potential opportunities in the area of testing. In this
report we consider what impacts SOA can have on testing, and what impact
testing may have on SOA.

SOA BEST PRACTICE REPORT:
SOA GOVERNANCE: CHALLENGE OR OPPORTUNITY?
SOA Governance has taken on a renewed importance as organizations seek to
scale up their early SOA experiences. Scarcely a week seems to go by
without SOA governance popping up in a story on the newswires. Too often
however the advice given is too vague with a lack of specific measures that
can be taken by organizations that need to achieve much better accountability
in challenging economic times, or is focused on the narrow view of governance
that is supported by a vendor's products. Our experiences in the field show
that despite the challenges there is now an opportunity to get to grips with
overall IT governance, of which SOA is one, albeit key, part. This article
distills the main lessons learnt in the form of a SOA governance framework
with practical guidelines for progression in real world contexts.
