IT professionals must address the following questions to survive:

• How do we achieve flexibility given our rigid legacy applications and infrastructure?

• Is there really such a thing as “cost-effective” or “low-cost, high-value” SOA?

• Can we really have a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) without starting over?

JBoss Enterprise Middleware is a prime example of the open source development model producing mature, comprehensive and reliable solutions for mission-critical services and applications. It is versatile, flexible, and the most cost effective way to obtain a secure SOA infrastructure that is high-performance in both function and speed, as well as highly reliable.

In this webinar JBoss Advanced Business Partner Information Design, Inc. (IDI) will discuss how they leverage JBoss Enterprise Middleware for optimal customer SOA infrastructures. You will also learn how IDI can integrate JBoss Enterprise Middleware application and integration platforms with other vendor’s messaging and SOA environments, to bring you from a rigid IT architecture to SOA flexibility.
