SOA Certification and Training, Networking, and Governance Events January 2010
Baltimore, MD, October 23, 2009 — ZapThink today announces the opening of registration for three separate Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Enteprise Architecture (EA) training, certification, and networking events in Sydney, Australia, running from January 11, 2010 to January 19, 2010.
“Companies are tired of all the hype surrounding Web Services and SOAs, and are finding it difficult to learn what they really need to know from vendor-centric conferences and training,” said Ronald Schmelzer, senior analyst with ZapThink, LLC. “IT professionals want to learn from their peers about what it really takes to put together a well-designed SOA, and desire third-party credentials to assert their SOA knowledge. The Licensed ZapThink Analyst boot camps give Enterprise Architecture practitioners the SOA education and credentials they’ve been waiting for.”
Courses, certification, and networking offered include:
Licensed ZapThink Architect (LZA) Boot Camp, Sydney, Australia, January 11-14, 2010 (http://bit.ly/34Ct0)
ZapForum Sydney EA & SOA Networking Event, Sydney, Australia, January 13, 2010 (http://bit.ly/M8Af8)
SOA & Cloud Governance Certification & Training, Sydney, Australia, January 18-19, 2010 (http://bit.ly/m2KMy)
In the four-day SOA training course, attendees will get hands-on experience and expertise in how to implement the latest SOA best practices and methods. Learn about Service modeling, Service domains, SOA infrastructure planning, SOA testing, SOA Quality, Governance, and Management, developing a SOA Roadmap, SOA ROI and Business Planning, SOA Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and metrics, SOA security and performance optimization, SOA policy management, Composite Services and Business Process, Service-Oriented Business Applications (SOBA), and Mashups. Hear about notable SOA security case studies and get hands-on guidance in making SOA work. And, once you complete this course you will become a credentialed Licensed ZapThink Architect.
The ZapThink LZA SOA training and certification program offers the following benefits:
An annual credential that allows ZapThink to endorse individual enterprise architects as having specific SOA skills
Posting onto an LZA Directory that enables companies to research and locate architects to assist with their SOA-specific needs
Opportunity to contribute to ZapThink’s online research and content
Participation in exclusive annual LZA-only conferences, events and activities.
Increasingly, individuals like are looking to get the backing of a qualified third-party organization that can endorse their existing SOA skills as well as enable continuous improvement, enhanced networking with those looking for architecture resources, or enhance their current SOA-enabled careers. Through its LZA program, ZapThink is filling the unmet need for knowledge and credentials in this area.
