Quotes from previous events “The SOA Partner Community Forum was a first-rate event that provided a balanced agenda of vendor-specific and vendor-neutral content pertaining to modern-day service-oriented computing technologies and practices. I enjoyed the opportunity to provide an objective voice on the topics I consider most important for today’s IT practitioners to fully leverage the many patterns, principles, and service technology innovations that comprise the next-generation SOA platform.” Thomas Erl, SOA Systems Inc., SOASchool.com

Book launch
One of the highlights of the conference was the book launch “Modern SOA Infrastructure: Technology, Design, and Governance” written by David Chappell, Thomas Erl, Mark Little, Brian Loesgen, Satadru Roy, Thomas Rischbeck, Arnaud Simon
SOA Manifesto
The highlight of the conference was the SOA Manifesto presentation. From Oracle David Chappel and Clemens Utschig-Utschig contributed to the SOA Manifesto. Right after the launch we had the opportunity to talk to several of the authors who shared some insights with us.
The simplicity and clear language in the manifesto was hard work. During the conference the team meet over 3 days. Key of SOA are the business benefits. The challenge was to reduce the more than 40 ideas for the SOA values to the final 6 values. In the second part of the SOA Manifesto focus on the guiding principles.
One of the key ideas was that you can not buy SOA, it is a result of hard architecture work. The goals of the manifesto are highly ambitions, high volume of website hits and the use in SOA RFIs.
Today during the SOA Symposium Conference the SOA Manifesto was published. The SOA manifesto is the bible of the SOA tought leader community. For details please visit http://soa-manifesto.org/

You implement Siebel, PeopleSoft or E-Business Suite – get your consultants trained on SOA technology. You build applications – you can use the same SOA technology and middleware stack like Oracle is using to build Fusion Applications.
Use cases for SOA in combination with Applications
• Customize Fusion Applications solutions to customer needs
• Integrate applications into third party systems. (e.g. Siebel to PeopleSoft, Siebel to SAP, Siebel to Fusion Applications)
• Build custom extensions
Thorsten Winterberg, Fusion Middleware ACE Director at Opitz Consulting highlighted the architecture in his OOW presentation. Hajo Normann, Fusion Middleware ACE Director at HP Enterprise Services wrote explains details in his blog.
</FOrm>If your consultants are skilled in Peoplesoft, Siebel or E-Business Suite tools this is the wake-up call to become trained in Fusion Middleware:
