WA1597 Mastering Service Oriented Analysis and Design (BEA Aqualogic Edition) Training and Courseware (Coming Soon)

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) shows demonstrable signs of simplifying software integration. It can reduce the cost of integration significantly and reduce time-to-market through leveraging reusable enterprise assets. SOA requires a new methodology for analysis and design. This class is designed for the Business Analysts (BA). The course contains comprehensive coverage of the theory of analysis and design for SOA applications, reinforced by hands-on labs.

Topics
	Requirements gathering Business process modeling Service identification and modeling. Learn the extensions made to the UML notations for SOA. Techniques for service implementation. How to continuously optimize a business process using Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Advanced problem solving techniques, such as messaging and compensation. The course focuses on theory and concepts and not specific tools. Students will get to try out each concept during the hands-on lab exercises.

What you will learn
	After taking this class, students will be able to confidently start working on a SOA projects. In the beginning of any project, Business Analysts play a key role. It is important that their understanding of SOA modeling and analysis is very clear. This way, they can design a solution that completely solves the problems at hand in a robust manner.

Audience
	Business Analysts and Architects who analyze and model applications should take this course.

Prerequisites
	Knowledge of what SOA is and its benefits. To this end, WA1405 Introduction to SOA is highly recommended.

Duration
	Four days.
