Financial Services Architect Forum
Hello,
We held a Financial Services Architect forum in Canada recently where we disscussed a number of topics related to the financial industry, you can read a detailed 3 part report on the forum athttp://blogs.msdn.com/mohammadakif , I am keen to know what architects working for the financial industry in other parts of the world have on their minds and suggestions for potential topics of discussions in these topics, some of the topics we covered in the session are as follows:
1)Microsoft’s commitment to Interoperability, Software Architecture, Integration and Enterprise Class Computing – Mark and Randy, Directors at Microsoft Canada
2)Role of architecture in a modern progressive organization –VP of Enterprise Architecture at RBC
3)J2EE and .NET interoperability – Chief Technology Officer of JNBridge (http://www.jnbridge.com)
4)Justifying the value of Services Oriented Architecture – Mohammad Akif, Microsoft
5)SOA governance, managing J2EE and .NET service – Founding architect of Amberpoint (http://www.amberpoint.com)
6)Identity Management and Federation panel discussion – Enterprise Architect from Bank of Nova Scotia, System Designer from Manulife Insurance and a partner at ObjectSharp along with a large group of enterprise and solution architects.
