Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Analysis (TT7110)

About This Course

Geared for business and systems analysts, SOA Analysis is a three day in-depth SOA analysis training course that explores what SOA is, the impact of SOA, what it means in terms of today's systems and architectures, and how to apply the concepts in identifying business and systems services. This course was designed for software analysts who wish to understand what services and service-oriented architectures are and what best practices and processes to use in supporting the design and implementation of SOA-based applications. This course presents a strong perspective on services as an essential and important part of enterprise systems as well as how to identify, design, and develop of complex services using sound analysis and design techniques. The course presents a clear portrait of how a service orientation can fundamentally change the dynamics of how software is developed and "lives" within an enterprise.
