SOA Hot Topics
Roundtable: CIO SOA
Concerns
 |
The
objective of the
CIO SOA Concerns
Roundtable was
to generate a
meaningful
conversation
between Thought
Leaders and
meeting
attendees on the
most pressing
concerns for
CIOs
considering,
promoting or
adopting
business-driven
SOA.
The
Roundtable kicks
off with each
panelist
presenting a
brief overview
on what they see
as the most
pressing
concerns for
CIOs while
they're either
considering or
rolling out a
business-driven
SOA strategy in
their
organization.
They were also
asked to
consider what
areas CIOs
should be
concerned about
that they don't
know yet based
on input from
other CIOs, from
their own
research and
work in the
industry.
