Mr. David Linthicum, author and columnist, is June’s Keynote Speaker

Reston, Virginia – June 18, 2009 – Today, the SolutionsDevelopers Corporation announced the June meeting of its Technology Leadership Roundtable. SolutionsDevelopers and the Technology Leadership Roundtable welcomed David Linthicum, well-known technology author, blogger, and columnist, as June’s keynote speaker.

This month’s session focused on cloud computing and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) technology and strategy. The presentation was tailored to the Federal sector and how to make SOA and cloud computing initiatives most successful in complex environments. Mr. Linthicum spoke about the transition of SOA from project-based solutions to enterprise-level infrastructure, while highlighting the importance that scalability, security, and information sharing leads to the success of such initiatives.

“I’m a frequent reader of David’s articles, and I follow his blog and Twitter posts on SOA and cloud computing” stated Andy Spurgeon, Vice President of Business Development at SolutionsDevelopers. “David educates technology executives about the important business decisions they have to make regarding the governance of SOA projects, before considering specific technologies. His detailed research and consulting experience with SOA and cloud engagements enable him to dispel some of the hype surrounding these issues and to focus on real-world strategies.”

David Linthicum is an internationally recognized industry expert and the author and coauthor of 13 books on computing, including the best selling Enterprise Application Integration (Addison Wesley). He is a blogger for InfoWorld, Intelligent Enterprise, and eBizq.net.
