Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Workshop

The SOA Workshop brings your team up to speed on service-oriented architecture, design principles and patterns, governance, service-oriented infrastructure products, relevant standards, and best practices. The workshop also provides a practical guide to SOA concepts, products, and issues related to adoption of this architectural approach.

Throughout the workshop, Burton Group leads brainstorming sessions to explore alternatives and discuss your organization’s SOA strategy. The two-day workshop typically consists of three segments: training, facilitated planning, and post-session reporting. However, each workshop is tailored to address the needs of your organization appealing to both senior management and technologists.

This in-depth workshop covers topics including:

• SOA Concepts
  • Service definition
  • SOA patterns and principles
  • Supporting initiatives
• SOA Infrastructure Overview
  • Service platform
  • Service mediation systems
  • Service management
  • Enterprise Service Bus
  • Service registry
  • Security
• SOA Governance
• Service models and design practices
  • Alignment with Software Development Life Cycle
  • Service modeling and the business domain
• SOA Maturity
• Roadmap planning and next steps

Following our onsite workshop, Burton Group will provide you with a 10 to 20 page written report. The report benchmarks your overall services environment, strategy, and architecture against industry trends, application and infrastructure objectives, prevailing best practices, and other factors. It also summarizes the issues and action plan identified during the workshop.

This tailored workshop can include executive and SOA team sessions, and can cover other topics related to data management, identity management, and security. To start an engagement, call Homan Farahmand at 905.952.0966.
