Parleys.com: SOA lite

Most of the attention around SOA has focused on its application to the very largest enterprises. This focus is understandable - these megacorps are the ones that have the most to gain or lose from a new architecture (and also the biggest consulting budgets) - but it has meant that the issues and requirements of smaller enterprises have often been overlooked in SOA discussions. This is especially true in areas such as governance, where the requirements of the largest enterprises are very different from those of their smaller kindred. Applying SOA guidelines based on requirements that aren't appropriate for your business leads to governance bloat and bureaucracy. In this presentation you'll see how to apply SOA in a more agile fashion to allow small and mid-sized enterprises to gain the benefits of flexible service components without the governance overhead often associated with SOA.
