ORACLE WORKSHOP - SOA TECHNOLOGY & 10g/11g DATABASE OVERVIEW/NEW FEATURES (Thursday - August 14th)
Service Oriented Architecthure (SOA) Technology (morning session):
Do the departments in your organization need to work with each other?
Do they have business processes that involves using more than one computer system (HW & SW)?
Would you like to automate these workflows? Be able to work on these workflows with a web interface?
Well, that’s where SOA comes in. SOA is a proven technology that was created for such needs. A way to connect various independent applications that are running different platforms so that current business processes can be automated, new business processes can be created, and applications can be easily upgraded. So no more double-entry into different systems, no more hard-coding, no more expensive upgrade process.
Come learn more about SOA technology:
* How does it work?
* Who’s using it?
* How are they using it?
