BALTIMORE, MD, July 04, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- ZapThink today announces the opening of registration for its four-day Licensed ZapThink Architect (LZA) Boot Camp, providing in-depth, hands-on training and certification on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and taught by notable SOA expert Jason Bloomberg. The LZA SOA Boot Camp will run from October 6 to 9, 2009 in Frankfurt, Germany.
"Companies are tired of all the hype surrounding Web Services and SOA, and are finding it difficult to learn what they really need to know from vendor-centric conferences and training," said Ronald Schmelzer, senior analyst with ZapThink, LLC. "IT professionals want to learn from their peers about what it really takes to put together a well-designed SOA, and desire third-party credentials to assert their SOA knowledge. The Licensed ZapThink Analyst boot camps give Enterprise Architecture practitioners the SOA education and credentials they've been waiting for."
In this four-day SOA training course, attendees will get hands-on experience and expertise in how to implement the latest SOA best practices and methods. Learn about Service modeling, Service domains, SOA infrastructure planning, SOA testing, SOA Quality, Governance, and Management, developing a SOA Roadmap, SOA ROI and Business Planning, SOA Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and metrics, SOA security and performance optimization, SOA policy management, Composite Services and Business Process, Service-Oriented Business Applications (SOBA), and Mashups. Hear about notable SOA security case studies and get hands-on guidance in making SOA work. And, once you complete this course you will become a credentialed Licensed ZapThink Architect.
"We are very excited to be partnering with ZapThink to deliver the industry's highest quality, vendor-neutral SOA training on the market in Germany," said Herbert Th¸mer of ht systemberatung GmbH. "We believe that there is large demand in Germany for in-depth SOA training and certification, and we plan this event in Frankfurt as a starting point for ZapThink's long-term SOA and EA training and certification business in the region."
The LZA SOA training and certification program in Frankfurt offers the following benefits:
* An annual credential that allows ZapThink to endorse individual enterprise architects as having specific SOA skills
* Posting onto an LZA Directory that enables companies to research and locate architects to assist with their SOA-specific needs
* Opportunity to contribute to ZapThink's online research and content
* Participation in exclusive annual LZA-only conferences, events and activities.
The LZA Frankfurt Event will be held at:
Hotel Steigenberger ñ Langen
Robert-Bosch-Strasse 26
63225 Langen
Frankfurt, Germany
Increasingly, individuals are looking to get the backing of a qualified third-party organization that can endorse their existing SOA skills as well as enable continuous improvement, enhanced networking with those looking for architecture resources, or enhance their current SOA-enabled careers. Through its LZA program, ZapThink is filling the unmet need for knowledge and credentials in this area.
