" Achieving the '5 9s' of Business Continuity in SOA Applications" (Webinar), November 7, 2006, 2:00 p.m. ET/11:00 a.m. PT -- Companies rolling out SOA offerings are quickly realizing that delivering quality across the entire development lifecycle involves more than testing a Web Service implementation. iTKO's Michelsen and Ronald Schmelzer, Senior Analyst for ZapThink will explore the full scope of considerations for SOA quality and how to address quality throughout the SOA software lifecycle. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn why SOA components and workflows are so difficult to test and manage by conventional means.

"We think it is very important to participate in thought-leading and thought-provoking industry events as a means to communicate with our customers and evangelize the value of SOA testing to those who are just beginning implementation," said Jim Mackay, CMO, iTKO, Inc. "Quality needs to be inherent within the company's development lifecycle, so having the opportunity to speak with peers and learn from end-users first-hand is invaluable to maintaining iTKO's awareness within the enterprise software quality market."
