SOA governance Burton Group & BT workshop

A few weeks back I got very frustrated that BT's contract with the Burton Group didn't allow me to get the SOA Governance Infrastructure [1] report from Anne Thomas Manes. This could basically be the title of my thesis! :)

So as the good student that I am (I don't want to hear any laughs!), I wrote to them to explain my predicament and propose a deal: i'll show you mine, if you show me yours!

A few hours later I had a polite answer requesting a date for this meeting and names of Burton's analysts. Yes my work is that interesting! :) Thanks to my supervisor, Theo Dimitrakos [2] we could arrange for the meeting to take place and host it.

The SOA governance Burton Group & BT workshop is taking place at Adastral Park this Thursday (03.12.2009) where we will receive Richard Watson [3] and Manfred Haertel to discuss this very exciting topic.
