SOA and Cloud: Reconciling Governance and Agility

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) offers the flexibility and agility to create and reuse resources across departmental silos. To realize these benefits, however, requires governance of both business and technology processes and interactions.  MITRE and the Federal Government SOA Community of Practice’s 13th SOA for eGovernment conference—SOA & Cloud: Reconciling Governance & Agility—https://register.mitre.org/soa/ on Tuesday, April 3, will focus on the linkage between enterprise architecture, governance, and SOA maturity. Presenters and panelists will examine the benefits of governance frameworks and approaches federal agencies are pursuing to increase the maturity and efficiency of their SOA and Cloud initiatives. Gain practical insights from SOA and Cloud experts and real case studies in the federal government. Network with government leaders and industry experts and meet service providers exhibiting their products and services.
