SOA Talk is the official blog of the SearchSOA.com editorial team: Michael Meehan, site editor; Bree Nally, assitant editor; Rich Seeley, news writer; and Nitin Bharti; editorial director. Topics covered will include SOA development, Web services, data integration, SOA governance and business process management (BPM). The blog will serve as a compliment to the news, tips and expert advice normally found on the SearchSOA.com site. In this blog we will preview upcoming content, announce our latest podcasts, offer up the occasional opinion piece and release some news tidbits that never found their way into our longer stories. We welcome questions and comments, so feel free to contact us.
