Overview:
Staying competitive in today's global economy is tougher than ever. It requires agility and adaptability. But how do you get there? As more businesses strive to become globally integrated enterprises, the alignment of business and IT is increasingly critical. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a business-driven IT architectural approach that is fundamental to the solution.

In this Web Seminar, IBM executives and customers lay out a roadmap to success by offering tips for:

▪   Accelerating business growth with a flexible IT infrastructure
▪   Creating innovative architecture to allow your business to keep pace with change
▪   Implementing a Smart SOA approach based on tried & true "best practices" learned from thousands of customer engagements

The Smart SOA approach is a set of guiding principles developed from working with the more than 5,700 customers using IBM's SOA offerings. The Smart SOA approach benefits both business and IT by extending the business value of deployment.
