Open source and service oriented architecture have met the mainstream, but like many aspects of technology each has its own risk factors. Moreover, a growing number of SOA projects integrally leverage open source technology -- so much that it has become largely impractical to invest in SOA without a comprehensive open source strategy as well. Successfully managing these challenges, both large and small, is the key to maximizing potential rewards from open source and SOA investments.

In this webinar we take a sneak peek at a number of topics covered in Gartner's upcoming 2007 Open Source Software Summit. We will address both technical and business trends as the open source model matures and plays a key role in successful SOA strategies.
