Most startups today adopt Cloud Computing from day one, because of the many economic and technological benefits. But what about the Enterprise? Is the Cloud ready for it? What are the things to consider when migrating existing IT environments to the Cloud? Is it still convenient for a grown-up startup to keep using the Cloud? Simone Brunozzi, Amazon Web Services Technology Evangelist for APAC, will provide insights and suggestions on the topic, together with successful case studies such as Netflix and Zynga.

Companies and Governments are adopting modern and highly dynamic technologies like cloud at a rapid pace. The speed of technology innovation seems to pick up. What does this development mean to the world of security and privacy though? Is this just a new development that we will adjust to over time or a true disruption requiring new and innovative security thought leadership? We find ourselves increasingly on the defensive - cyber criminals who are getting more sophisticated and targeted by the week and new technology services utilizing the cloud being quickly introduced into companies without giving security teams a chance to prepare for it. Is this really a technological challenge or rather a new cultural shift? It seems as if every successful gadget or consumer service is utilizing the cloud these days. But at the same time consumers and corporate customers alike are having higher expectations when it comes to the integrity and confidentiality of their data. Consumer trust is more and more an essential ingredient of a successful online business model. Trust without security is short lived though. Is it time to realize that "bolting" security onto existing technology no longer works in the cloud age and we need to innovate and develop new security technologies and mechanisms to keep up with technology innovation?

The constant rush to new fads and fashions in the Information Technology industry have done little to improve overall software quality; and as computing moves to the cloud, apparently out of our control, quality becomes even more important. Satellite launches famously fail, medical devices famously overdose patients and engines still shut down in flight. Best practices and standards for managing, measuring and improving software implementation processes have had some success (most notably CMMI), but incorrect and incomplete coverage in the industry has left us in a mostly unchanged situation. At the same time, outsourcers and other software development teams have no standardized, widely-adopted way to agree software quality metrics with contractors and purchasers of software. The Consortium for IT Software Quality (CISQ), a group of software developers and users led by Object Management Group (OMG) and the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), are developing such a standard to lower costs and increase quality broadly in the software world, driven by static code analysis, software modeling and shared patterns and anti-patterns of good practice. Dr. Soley will given an overview of the process and schedule for developing the standard, and the expected uses of of the standard when complete.

Integrating applications - and now Cloud services - is a major challenge for enterprise architects. Each of these components is designed to deliver a particular set of functionality, and probably does this very well. But different applications and services are designed separately and generally do not inter-operate with each other. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has become established as an architectural style within which different components can inter-operate so that applications and external services can be integrated within an overall enterprise architecture. This presentation will describe the latest state-of-the-art of SOA, and explain how enterprise architects can use it to achieve interoperability, following best-practice methods developed by The Open Group based on the experience of its members.
Participants will learn:
- How SOA delivers interoperability;
- A standard reference architecture for SOA; and
- How to use the Open Group's standard architecture framework TOGAF to develop a service-oriented enterprise architecture.

From the earliest days of SOA, it has been widely recognized that good governance is crucial for successful deployment. It has also been recognized that SOA governance is difficult. In the first place, this was partly just because SOA was new. Secondly, it is also because SOA requires a different way of working to traditional architectural styles, with different roles and responsibilities. Thirdly, and perhaps most significantly, enterprises using SOA learn as they go, and change the way they do things as they learn, which means that their governance must be adaptable and flexible.
This presentation will describe the Open Group SOA Governance Framework. This is a standard governance framework developed by The Open Group using the experience of its member companies. It includes a standard SOA governance reference model, and a vitality method by which you can create a flexible and adaptive SOA governance regimen for your enterprise.
Participants will learn:
- The importance of SOA governance;
- The Open Group SOA Governance Reference Model; and
- How to develop an enterprise SOA governance regimen using the SOA Governance Vitality Method.
