  • What happens when enterprise architecture meets IT service management?
  • What does an architect have to say about concepts like the configuration management database or the service catalog?

Find out the answers to these questions and more when you join EMA Research Director Charlie Betz (LinkedIn profile) for a Webinar that will cover these questions and other concepts from the second edition of his bestselling book – Architecture and Patterns for IT Service Management, Resource Planning, and Governance: Making Shoes for the Cobbler’s Children, Second Edition.

This unique work features a process model for IT management, distinguished from a functional model, and supported by data and systems architectures and numerous design patterns.

As Charlie is fond of pointing out: Massive IT capital investments and supply chains, critical operations, and pivotal implementation initiatives are managed with emails, spreadsheets, and seat- of-the-pants intuition, with narrow goals elevated over global objectives. Often absent is the data-driven, analytic, continuously improving management philosophy employed in the primary value chains of the world’s most successful companies.

Come and hear what an enterprise architecture approach has to offer IT in meeting these challenges!

Presenter: Charlie Betz has served as a senior architect in large companies focused on the problems of large scale IT service management. He spent six years at a major bank as VP and lead architect for IT portfolio and systems management. Based on this experience and his critical reviews of ITIL, COBIT, and CMMI, he’s published the second edition of his bestselling book Architecture and Patterns for IT Service Management, Resource Planning, and Governance: Making Shoes for the Cobbler’s Children, Second Edition.

Workshop on Building High Scalable Applications with Service Components

Your choices for scalable and most productive platforms to build SOA, BPM, and Web applications are vital to your organization’s success.

The problems you need to solve are testing and evaluating applications and business processes that use Rich Internet Application (RIA, using Ajax, Flex, Flash,) JMS, and SOAP and REST Web Service interfaces.

You are not interested in lame “instant service development” schemes. Your application does not have a magical silver bullet that involves no work, no time, and no sense.

Join Frank Cohen, (LinkedIn profile) CEO and Founder at PushToTest and inventor of the TestMaker Open Source Test tool. This is ideal for CIOs, CTOs, Development and Test Executives, and IT managers.

Here is what they have for you:

  • A comparison of developer productivity and performance on Oracle, IBM, and TIBCO
  • A systematic, simple way to understand and implement effective tests of your application
  • Test software to build tests and deploy to desktop, grid, and cloud environments
  • A clear tutorial approach to the PushToTest methodology of building and repurposing tests to understand the correct functioning, performance, and scalability of your application
  • An organized reference guide to the “best of the best” tips, techniques, patterns and antipatterns from PushToTest over the years, and how it all fits together

In other words, you don’t have to be Einstein to “get” this stuff.

Every attendee will receive fully working copies of the open source test tools, including Selenium, soapUI, PushToTest, TestGen4Web, and many others taught in this Webinar.
