Licensed ZapThink Architect (LZA) SOA Training Boot Camp: London October 12, 2009

One of the biggest challenges facing the SOA marketplace is the lack of proper governance to make sure that SOA exists in a controlled environment, and not the potential chaos that can emerge from uncontrolled, dynamic consumption and composition.

To address this challenge, ZapThink today announces the availability of registration for its Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Governance Training and Certification courses. The first two-day courses will be run at the University of Virginia's Northern Virginia campus near metropolitan Washington, DC starting on August 3, 2009 and again on September 28, 2009.

The courses address a significant and urgent need from enterprise architects and IT practitioners to achieve SOA success by governing the design, operation, running, and versioning of their SOA implementations. In ZapThink's two-day workshop, attendees will learn in-depth, practical SOA governance methodologies, techniques, and approaches in ways that are not specific to the particular technology du-jour or an individual vendor implementation. The SOA Governance training and certification course is led by skilled instructors who not only have architectural and governance expertise, but also know-how in how to apply SOA governance technologies and frameworks into practice. For attendees that already have an LZA credential, this course adds a SOA Governance endorsement that will further add to their knowledge and capabilities. The SOA governance course fills the unmet need for both SOA governance training as well as certification.

Details of the upcoming SOA Governance Training and Certification workshops:

August 3-4, 2009: metropolitan Washington, DC area
September 28-29, 2009: metropolitan Washington, DC area

Cost for attendance is just $995 at early discount rates and includes all training materials and certification costs. For more information and to register for the SOA Governance training and certification events, visit www.zapthink.com/eventreg.html.
