Business Exceptions are created as processes break down, as new ways of doing business replace old, and as partners change their processes. If not well managed, exceptions will reduce operational profitability and impede growth. The annual direct labor cost of exception management exceeds $10 billion. However, the indirect impact of exceptions - including indirect costs, lost revenue, dissatisfied customers, and lost agility - is much greater.
Imposing services-oriented architecture on a legacy application environment cannot be achieved simply by wrapping online transactions. Poorly aligned data structures and applications limit data accessibility and functional flexibility. Underlying fragmentation, redundancy and batch structures are the antithesis of SOA. To truly achieve SOA, organizations must develop a phased approach to redesigning and redeploying data structures and modernizing applications.
This session will provide an overview of SOA security approaches, frameworks, and threats, and examine the intersection between enterprise security architecture and SOA. This session will also cover the emerging WS-* security standards that will enable more complex SOA networks, including WS-Security, WS-Policy, WS-Trust, WS-SecureConversation, and WS-Federation. Finally, we will recommend tactics for securing SOA today and strategies for bringing security standards into existing deployments.

In a world of reduced IT budgets and application backlogs, organizations must be able to reuse services and extend legacy technology. Further, with the ability to orchestrate these services into cross-enterprise business processes, a paradigm shift can be achieved in how applications are constructed, resulting in reduced costs and complexity in offering new services to customers.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA) has achieved this paradigm shift with the deployment of an SOA-based, business process-driven infrastructure.
Enterprises are adopting SOA to drive faster application development and more flexible integration that allows more adaptable business processes. However, SOA creates unique management challenges as IT struggles with operational issues such as problem resolution and security and process issues such as policy enforcement and lifecycle management. This session discusses these issues and the state of existing management solutions.

This panel will feature some of the leading companies and thought-leaders in the service-oriented integration market. Questions that will be addressed during this session include:
• What role will existing integration tools investments play in an SOA world
• Three key benefits of Services-Oriented Integration
• Costs comparison between traditional integration approaches and SOI
Predictions for the SOI market over the next two years

This presentation will introduce methods and a set of principles and guidelines for consistently and accurately deploying value chain processes within a SOA.
There is a national movement in healthcare towards increased collaboration and e-health. Adaptis is addressing this challenge by re-architecting to Service Oriented Architecture to support a cross-organizational delivery system. The results will be significant. It is a framework ideally suited to healthcare’s complex and fragmented delivery system.
Building the business case for service-oriented architecture (SOA) is essential for widespread adoption. This presentation discusses the key elements of the business case, including traditional measures such as return on investment (ROI) and total cost-of-ownership (TCO) as well as examining the value of business agility and system extensibility, based on more that 10 years of experience building systems using SOA.
