IBM Innovation Center, 404 Wyman St, North Entrance, Waltham, MA

This session invites those who have already made the climb to the summit of Mount SOA and those who have yet to make the climb, to come together to share stories and ideas on transitioning to SOA and will focus on the topic of IT Governance.. If you have made the journey, we invite you to share your experiences with those about to begin the journey. If you are about to begin the journey, we invite you to attend to discuss the preparation required to scale the mountain.

At the base camp there will be a number of climbers who have made the trail, State Street, Iron Mountain, SOA standards from OMG, and SOA gear providers such as IONA, and IBM's top SOA Evangelist, Mark Colan. Mark will introduce the challenges along the trail and bring stories of prior travels. Our base camp guide will be Walter Kuketz, CTO of Collaborative Consulting.
