Quickly discovering I wasn’t the only enterprise architect, services architecture type interested in cloud computing, I invited David Linthicum, SOA expert, enterprise architecture advocate, blogger, founder of Blue Mountain Labs, and all around nice guy, to speak at the March SOA Consortium meeting on the Intersections of SOA and Cloud Computing.
The podcast of Dave’s talk is now available from the SOA Consortium. What follows is the “blurb” on the podcast that I posted at SOA Consortium Insights. If like me, you are getting intentional in your cloud watching, I highly recommend this podcast.

In February 2007, as we were starting up the SOA Consortium, I facilitated a series of invitation-only, vendor-free, SOA Executive Summits, with leading CIOs and CTOs representing Fortune 1000 corporations, major government agencies and non-governmental organizations. The purpose of the Summits was two-fold. First, was to validate, augment or contradict the mission, vision, strategies and tactics of the newly formed SOA Consortium. Second, was to conduct a roundtable discussion on real-world Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) implementation opportunities and challenges with advanced SOA adopters.
One of the questions I asked during the roundtable was “Where will the services come from?”…
…Two years later, inspired by a conversation with a cloud computing software provider, I revisited the “where will the services come from question” with members of our community of practice. However, instead of focusing on where they might “get services”, I asked if their organizations are currently, or considering, “offering services via the cloud”, to augment interactions with business partners and existing customers, and/or as a means to generate new revenue streams.
