iTKO's SOA Testing and Validation Role Supports Increasingly Complex Integration Lifecycles

The real value of IT comes not from the systems, but from agile business processes in actual use. Growing complexity, and the need to support a process orchestration of the old applications and the new services, places a premium on validating at the process level before -- not after -- implementation. iTKO, through it's LISA product and solutions methods, has created a continuous validation framework for SOA and middleware integrations. To learn more about performance and quality assurance issues around enterprise integration, middleware, and SOA, we interview John Michelsen, chief architect and founder of iTKO. Our podcast is moderated by Dana Gardner, principal analyst at Interarbor Solutions. Sponsor: iTKO.
