Bangalore, October 18, 2010: Max Dolgicer has more than 25 years of
management and technical experience in development and support of Business
applications, software products and systems internals. An internationally recognized
expert, Max is Technical Director and principal at International System Group, (ISG)

Max is coming to Business Technology Sumit 2010 (www.btsummit.com) to speak
about all things SOA, on 12 November at the NIHANS Convention Center in
Bangalore. At the summit, Max covers the following sessions:
* Managing the SOA Evolution: once a company has completed initial SOA
projects, the number of deployed services increases such that the key question no
longer is how to build services, but rather how to efficiently govern the development
and operation of services on an enterprise scale. The focus of SOA shifts to
reusability, securing how a growing number of clients access the services, and
assuring that Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are met, to name just a few issues. At
this point companies run the danger that a "free for all" environment proliferates,
and the benefits of SOA cannot be realized. The key is to introduce SOA governance
before services spin out of control. Managing the evolution of SOA into the cloud with
the correct governance is the next challenge. This keynote will address: typical
categories of SOA projects, how SOA Maturity Models and governance relate, and
how SOA governance needs to be extended when we move applications into the
cloud
* A ROI Calculator for SOA: let the Numbers Do the Talking: there are many
pro and very few con arguments from an engineering perspective that make us
believe that SOA is a superior approach for most application development and
integration projects. However, nowadays we typically won't get away with brilliant
technical arguments to justify the transition to SOA. In most cases we will have to
convince the CFO that there is a positive bottom line result. This presentation
outlines a ROI model for application development based on service reusability in a
SOA. It describes how the cost effect of reuse can be calculated during the
development and the maintenance cycle of a portfolio of service oriented business
applications. The model is based on metrics that have been widely accepted
throughout the IT industry. The model will then be illustrated by a project where
multiple business applications have been developed within a SOA that employs a
foundation of reusable services. This presentation will show an overview of a project
that is used as an example, a popular ROI model that is the basis for the ROI
calculation, and the application of the model to determine concrete monetary
savings.
