Azure Thoughts, EAI Challenges

Last week I have returned to my old employer Inter Access (IA). I had a rather short career at Getronics PinkRoccade (GPR). It was not what I expected to be at GPR, but I was not entirely comfortable in the situation I ended up. Well that can happen and so I returned to IA, where they gave a warm welcome back. Today I participated in their new spring campaign for recruitment of new future employees. I did a commercial shot together with Bettina Witteveen and Yuri Versluis. It was exciting and I was but nervous too. I must say I have great admiration now for who stand before camera’s like actors, interviewers and so. It is hard to perform in front of camera’s, but we pulled it off. I started working again for some clients of IA, one concerning an implementation of an ESB and one consulting and advising on BizTalk solutions.

Coming Wednesday I have another discussion with a couple of architects of Inter Access (my company) about SOA. We will discuss the principles of SOA. Some of the principles to be discussed are published by Stefan Tilkov in InfoQ and SOAWorld magazine April 2007. It is a good written piece and very useful in our discussion. In a previous post What is SOA? I also mentioned a discussion with the same architects. Together with my colleague architects we are currently working on a SOA framework, where definition, principles and so on are building blocks. In the end this framework can be used to guide our potential customers to set up a SOA. Some principles of SOA can be found here at eBiz or here .
