RAINING
DATA HEADLINES PANEL OF EXPERTS TO DISCUSS
THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF SERVICE-ORIENTED ARCHITECTURES,
NAMED ZAPTHOUGHT LEADER
| WHAT:
|
Raining
Data, recognized by ZapThink LLC as a ZapThought Leader
for its innovative mid-tier TigerLogic XML data management
server that aggregates data of any type and from any source,
will be on a panel of experts to discuss ‘The Nuts and
Bolts of Service-Oriented Architectures’ in a session
at this year’s ZapThinkTank Conference. The conference
is organized by ZapThink, a leading XML technology analysis
firm. |
| WHO: |
Boris
Geller, Vice President of Market Development for Raining
Data Corporation, joined by a panel of experts.
|
| WHY: |
Security,
data management, integration, and process automation are
four key technology categories that enable Service-Oriented
Architectures (SOA). But designing SOAs can be a complex
task, and there is no single proven way to implement them.
The mixture of technologies to be considered during the
design process, particularly when it comes to high-speed
data management and accessibility, can overwhelm even
the most ambitious IT managers.
ZapThink
LLC has identified Raining Data as a ZapThought Leader
for its commitment to provide a more agile, scaleable
and cost-effective data architecture to implement XML,
Web Services and SOAs. In support of the ZapThought Lead
program, Raining Data will sit on panel to discuss design
and best practices for achieving success in cost effective
deployments.
