AmberPoint Executive to Discuss SOA Validation at STAR EAST 2007

Ed Horst, VP of Product Strategy, Presents on the Critical Role of Validation in Achieving Reuse and Agility with Service-based Systems

Oakland, CA, May 14, 2007 -- AmberPoint, the industry's leading provider of SOA runtime governance software, is pleased to announce that its Vice President of Product Strategy, Ed Horst, will speak at the upcoming STAR EAST 2007 conference. In his presentation, "A Unique Testing Approach for SOA Systems," Mr. Horst will provide tips on validating SOA environments and provide real-world examples of success.

What:
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) systems use services that are shared across different applications. These services are often supplied by third-parties and are outside the direct control of a project, system, or organization. As the services evolve, organizations face the issue of how to ensure the functionality and performance of ever-changing SOA systems when even a minor change to a service can adversely affect the entire system. It is often impossible to replicate external services in testing and staging environments so IT staff don't see a problem until the systems operate in production and then fail.

In this presentation, Mr. Horst will share real-world examples of organizations that have successfully managed service changes. He will also discuss a unique approach to testing services as well as review:

• The impact of changes before services are deployed


• Achieving a cost-effective means of validating an entire set of dependent applications


• Enabling organizations to plan for growth in application use and system load


• Reducing production downtime
