Beyond SOA – Why User Experience Matters
Most companies are on the road to SOA. Now the big challenge is delivering on the promise of this investment – showing value to business sponsors. With all the focus on back-end plumbing, the end-user is no longer a high priority. Are your solutions delivering a great user experience? Should they and how can they?
Facilitated
by Microsoft, the premise of this event is to provide an open forum
where architects can meet to discuss technologies with their peers.
This forum will provide first-hand experience and best practices that
will enable its members to learn from each other and transfer
knowledge. Please join us for this great opportunity to learn, share
and network with your peers and other company leaders.
