Re: [service-orientated-architecture] SOA education vendor

[Steve Jones]

On the basis that a decent trainer needs to have experience the technologies and solutions at first hand and know the war stories, then from my experience so far I've not seen much decent SOA training being offered outside of conferences.  Where I've seen SOA training and coaching done relatively well is in company link ups and using specialist SOA consultants from SIs (caveat I do work for an SI).   To get SOA working you need war stories as much as you need best practices.

You also need to be clear what you want out of such training, if its an overview on SOA then you are possibly almost better off contacting one of your key vendors or SI partners and asking them to do this as an "awareness" exercise as part of the relationship.  If its because you want to start rolling SOA out then you will need something pretty bespoke to the challenges that you face.
