Our CMO on TV -- a SOAWorld Preview

SYS-CON TV producer Roger Strukhoff recently posted this PowerPanel roundtable on SOA Technology. iTKO CMO Jim Mackay was in Times Square to participate in the program - and the talk was a well-informed preview of the discussions we're likely to hear at SOAWorld 2007 in a couple weeks. Watch the video here: http://www.sys-con.tv/read/386861.htm Every vendor represented here emphasizes their own "world view" of SOA. Whether that means better interoperability, a robust platform, tighter security, or our favorite topic, SOA Quality and Validation. (Jim, I won't say "SOA Testing" here...) When it comes down to it, there was really a lot of common ground. Everyone on this panel seemed to agree that a driving goal of SOA Governance is achieving Trust. You can pick your technology approach, but in the end, SOA is a heterogeneous environment, so you need to establish that Trust - both across Federated business divisions and partnerships, and among the SOA technology vendors that establish the environment. If you'd like us to expand on the topics Jim and the panel brought up here in future posts, we'd love to hear your thoughts. - Jason
