SOA School: Architect Certification Workshop

Learn how to simplify old business information systems for high performance

 

Achieve globally recognised certification in Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) from SOASchool.com

Many businesses are struggling to expand due to the restrictions of old data architecture, and there are an increasing number that are relying on service-oriented architecture to help provide more flexibility in a changing business environment.

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) helps businesses to more easily transform their business processes for high performance by simplifying the underlying information systems.

SOASchool.com is delivering the SOA Architect Certification Workshop in Sydney, as part of the popular SOA Certified Professional (SOACP) Program.

Here’s an outline of what will be covered during this 5-day workshop:

Day 1: Fundamental SOA and Service Oriented Computing

Provides a well-rounded, end-to-end overview of service-oriented computing and SOA, and an understanding of common terms, concepts and important industry developments.

Day 2: SOA Technology Concepts

Focuses on modern Web industry standards and technologies that are establishing the foremost means of building services today.

Day 3: SOA Design and Architecture

Delves into the service-oriented architectural model and the service-orientation design paradigm and establishes the unique characteristics and dynamics that constitute service-oriented solution logic.

Day 4: Advanced SOA Design and Architecture

Provides an in-depth exploration of service-orientation, service-oriented architecture and SOA design patterns, including those that relate to the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and Orchestration platforms.

Day 5: SOA Design and Architecture Lab

This hands-on workshop allows attendees to apply the technologies, concepts, techniques, patterns and principles previously covered in order to complete a set of design exercises.

Who Should Attend SOA Architect Certification Workshop?

This workshop is suitable for any IT professionals interested in SOA practices, principles, patterns and industry technologies.
