Certificate in Service-Oriented Architecture: Agile Enterprise
Program
The Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA): Agile Enterprise Certificate was designed to will help both business and IT professionals gain a better understanding of SOA concepts, infrastructure and management.
The Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA): Agile Enterprise Certificate focuses on developing the skills needed to influence knowledgeable enterprise-wide decisions to support the adoption of SOA. You will get the training you need to help your organization become an agile enterprise, to be ready to respond quickly to unexpected events and opportunities.
Many technological tools have been adopted as the "penicillin" to improve business processes and performance. Yet, many well-intended exercises are eventually abandoned when disjointed technologies lead to silos of information.
There is a need for an enterprise infrastructure that fully integrates technology and business processes, allowing business agility and a free flow of information between the various units, locations, functions, and entities.
The Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA): Agile Enterprise Certificate was created to help you get up to speed on SOA, an approach that offers great potential. SOA is a collection of best practices for creating organizational infrastructure that enables greater agility in the constantly evolving world of business. SOA is not a one-dimensional IT product. It is a sophisticated and multi-faceted process that helps eliminate barriers that occur when technology and business processes are not integrated.
