This article explains how an Open Source SOA Roadmap can use a typical Web
application project's funding as the basis for a successful SOA transition
effort. It is the first of three articles that explains how open source
technologies and techniques can be leveraged to successfully deliver SOA
solutions given the current economic downturn.
The pain of these economic times is real. Staying competitive and thriving
today means you must "think outside the box" to manage costs and exploit
opportunities like never before. Most IT shops are currently in the
commercial SOA box. A box where the transition of enterprise architecture to
a service-oriented enterprise architecture is accomplished by commercial
technologies and techniques. It typically costs millions of dollars to fund a
commercial SOA transition versus thousands of dollars for an open source SOA

Cloud Computing Expo on Ulitzer
The talk at the 4th Cloud Expo this week in Santa Clara was all about
enterprise cloud adoption. Is it real? Is it already happening? If so,
who’s doing it, which applications are they running and which clouds are
being tested?
To a large extent, cloud computing is a victim of its own somewhat

I attended the mHealth Summit organized by the NIH in DC on October 29-30 to
get a sense of the progress in the use of mobile technologies to improve
health care. It is a fascinating area where mobile technology can make a real
difference in the lives of many people, especially in developing countries
(see a paper I wrote recently on behalf of Cisco and Intel here).
It was an interesting meeting for someone like me working on the m side of
the mHealth, as most of the attendees were from the health care community.
This allowed me to get a be... (more)
Yesterday, Microsoft released another update to the Windows Azure SDK. This
update includes a truckload of new goodies that I will be covering in
additional blog posts. For this blog post, however, I want to walk you
through getting an ASP.NET MVC 2 application working on Windows Azure in
Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. Now that Azure and VS2010 are finally starting to
sync up, the amount of raw goodness coming out of Redmond cannot be measured.
First, install the Windows Azure SDK and the Windows Azure Tools for Visual
Studio, making sure you pay attention to all of the installation d... (more)
There's this really funny actor named Dax Shepard, who was one of the stars
of the straight-to-DVD cult classic movie, Idiocracy. Dax is also a big hit
at SXSW and other cool places in the world. So when I heard he was being
integrated into Cloud Computing, I thought, hey, that's a really cool idea.
Then I put my glasses back on and saw that the subject at hand is DaaS in the
Cloud, not Dax. Oh well.
