Federal Agencies are going to spend more than $400 million on NEXT-GENERATION information technology programs in 2008. This is just the beginning! Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) promises to change how Federal Agencies build IT systems. The Executive Office of the President (OMB) is driving Federal Agencies to develop systems that communicate, collaborate and reduce redundancy. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an integral part of the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) and is critical to meeting OMB goals.
Every Federal IT project will be touched by SOA. Goodbye three-tier, Hello SOA. Gartner says more than 50% of all mission critical systems will have SOA. Are you prepared for this transition? Do you know how to deal with this profound change in how software systems are built?
