BALTIMORE,
MD September 9, 2010 -- 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
5-8, 2010 in Falls Church, VA.
“Companies
are tired of all the hype surrounding Web Services and SOAs, 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.

The

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
