Software Architecture Summit 2006 Offered
Technical, Business and Organization Skills from Case Studies, Best Practices and Lessons from the Trenches

IT is caught between budgetary squeezes on new projects and the drive towards SOA with its promise of greater interoperability and maintainability. And software architecture is critical to today's business success, yet it requires technical, business and organizational talents and skills that warrant their own path of career development, education, and research.

FTP’s sophomore Software Architecture Summit, January 29-February 2, featured case studies, best practices, and lessons learned from IT practitioners, along with state-of the-art presentations from leading vendors. It was a chance to meet under one roof at one time the people that are redefining software architecture.
