Scanning with Canning: Catching The Wave of Emerging Security Trends: SDForum’s Interoperability 06’

Microsoft is coming on strong and serious about Interoperability. Web-Services are all about driving horizontal business architecture strategy across many Fortune 500 corporations divisions. Companies are constantly looking for ways to save on development costs while delivering unique competitive business value. Many corporations are creating internal profit centers called “shared services” that act like privately run business that compete with outside vendors. These units can only be competitive if they have a handle on “Interoperability” and developing a robust heterogeneous Service Orient Architecture. As these disciplines become more and more prevalent third party process either internally or externally will be the norm.

The technology is ready and the vendors are ready to talk about how playing together makes everyone win in the Interoperability game. Microsoft is support this strategy with it’s platform called “Connected Systems” encompassing a vast array of different products and Windows operating systems that support SOA initiatives natively. One such example of this is code name “Indigo”, now known officially as Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) within Vista and soon XP R3 (Release 3). WCF is an industry complement to BEA and Tibco just to name a few top players. Security and Identity are two key aspects being explored by Deloitte, Oracle, Identrus and Microsoft.

Join industry thought leaders from Deloitte, IBM, HP, Intel, Microsoft, Sun, and Oracle, along with Burton Group expert Ann Thomas Manes, on January 31st, for an open industry dialog on industry-wide initiatives for interoperability.
