AmberPoint and Leading Industry Analyst to Address SOA Visibility and Control

Upcoming Webcast to Showcase Real-World Success at Automating SOA Governance

Oakland, CA, February 12, 2007 -- AmberPoint, the industry's leading provider of SOA runtime governance software, today announced an upcoming webcast, "Discover Your Inner SOA." In this webcast, Burton Group Vice President and Research Director Anne Thomas Manes will team-up with AmberPoint Vice President of Product Strategy Ed Horst to offer an informative look at SOA governance requirements, review approaches for automating them, and profile real-world examples of success.

What:
Most organizations now understand that SOA is an ideal means of bringing agility to enterprise business systems. However, with its many benefits SOA also brings a new set of challenges. One of the most pressing issues is making sure decentralized teams cooperate effectively. But how do you coordinate efforts across departments, locations, time zones and priorities? How do you maximize re-use and ensure system-wide compliance with governance policies? Overcoming these challenges can be the difference between success and failure for an SOA initiative.

In this presentation, AmberPoint and Burton Group will provide a unique perspective on:

• Governance issues unique to SOA


• The challenges of synchronizing the efforts of decentralized teams


• Effective methods of ensuring that design-time intentions match runtime realities


• Why automating discovery is essential


• Real-world examples of successful SOA governance
