SDA India Magazine and sda-india.com present the first of its kind business and technical conference on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to the Indian Enterprise IT community of CIOs, CTOs, Management, IT directors, IT managers, IT architects, Network and Infrastructure specialists, Project Managers, Project Leaders, and Software Architects. SOA India 2007 will feature two separate, but parallel, tracks for a business and technical audience. Other fringe topics that will be part of the larger discussion include: Business Process Modeling (BPM), Agile best practices, BPEL, SaaS, MDM, BI, and Enterprise 2.0. If you are responsible for business optimization, designing, developing and/or implementing your organization's IT strategy this conference will equip you with the tools and information you need to implement a company wide SOA solution that deploys agile, manageable, and secure technology.

The market for SOA, including software, services and hardware, will reach $21 billion by 2007, according to IDC. The trend is corroborated by a Springboard Research report that predicts the Indian SOA market to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 49 percent from 2006-2009, making it the fastest growing market in the region. While the average Indian IT professional's SOA learning curve is low, the biggest hurdle to deployment is often met at the level of executive buy-in, where "business results" take importance over "cutting-edge".

SDA India Magazine's curtain-raiser to the SOA India 2007, Tapping Into the Power of SOA, on the sidelines of JAX India 2007, has met with overwhelming response from C-level executives, business process managers, IT directors, IT managers, IT architects, Network and Infrastructure specialists, looking for the latest information, trends, and solutions available for deployments that can yield substantial business returns. SOA India 2007 is in direct response to this need for information.
