SOAWorld Conference & Expo 2008
East June 23-24, 2008 at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City SOA
World Conference & Expo 2008 East brings together the best minds in
the business for a two-day conference that offers comprehensive coverage of SOA
and what it means to enterprise IT today.
Service-oriented
architectures have evolved over the past few years out of the original vision
of loosely coupled Web services replacing constrained, stovepiped applications

developed its own SOA strategy, supported by innumerable mid-size companies and
start-ups offering specific SOA aspects or entire solutions.
Service-oriented
architectures (SOAs) have evolved over the past few years out of the original
vision of loosely coupled web services replacing constrained, stovepiped
applications throughout enterprise IT. Every major enterprise technology vendor
today has developed its own SOA strategy, supported by innumerable mid-size
companies and start-ups offering specific SOA aspects or entire solutions. This
explosive growth in SOA technology is in response to a global demand--IDC
estimates that spending on SOA services alone will grow from $8.6 billion to
more than $33 billion by 2010.
