SOA Leaders, the world’s largest peer-to-peer community of end-user SOA implementers, today announced that it has made several additions and enhancements to its offerings to better serve members worldwide. SOA Leaders has added a new members-only online forum, where end-users and those forming an SOA strategy can collaborate and share ideas among more than 1,000 participants.
SOA Leaders also welcomes a new benefactor, GT Software, to help facilitate member discussions about incorporating mainframe assets into SOA systems.
The next end-user SOA case study in SOA Leaders’ webcast series will feature innovative healthcare company MedicAlert Foundation. Jorge Mercado, lead architect at MedicAlert will present “How a Healthcare Pioneer Has Embraced SOA to Drive Business Agility” on September 14 at 12:00 p.m. ET
(9:00 a.m PT). The webcast will give an overview of the results MedicAlert has achieved in leveraging its SOA infrastructure, and will offer valuable suggestions for overcoming the challenges of services-based systems.
“The members of SOA Leaders are insightful colleagues whose experiences inform our choices around SOA initiatives,” said Jorge Mercado, lead architect at MedicAlert. “MedicAlert is proud to contribute to this community and appreciates the support of the benefactors in building this valuable communication forum.”
SOA Leaders announced today the addition of GT Software to its roster of benefactors. GT Software is a leading provider of rapid SOA development solutions that leverage mainframe resources, making the mainframe an active participant in SOA initiatives.
