Architecture sessions @ IT Forum

Infrastructure Architects are not very well served by the industry (including Microsoft), so I'm testing an Architecture track at IT Forum this year. I've allocated 5 session slots and will be watching carefully to see how well they are attended and how relevant you find the content.

For full details go to the IT Forum website. I've pasted the session titles below;

  • Infrastructure Needs of a Service Oriented Architecture presented by Mark Baciak
  • Infrastructure Optimisation Maturity Model (IOM) presented by Jason Heyes and Eduardo Kassner Shvadsky
  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Architects: Developing Logical Datacenters presented by Michael Leworthy
  • Microsoft, Open Source, and Interoperability presented by Bill Hilf
  • Planning an Identity and Access Management Strategy for your Organization presented by Gary Williams

This is quite a diverse set of sessions which I know will appeal to the Infrastructure Architects I've spoken with recently. If the sessions are attended well and the feedback is positive we might be able to expand the track for next year.
