    PALO ALTO, CA, July 21, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Understanding state-of-the-art SOA practices, technologies and standards can mean the difference between whether a service-oriented architecture (SOA) soars or stalls. That is why more than 2,000 IT professionals have attended the popular WSO2 SOA Summer School program (http://wso2.com?072111w) to learn proven techniques--based on real-world enterprise SOA deployments--for addressing enterprises' top IT challenges in such areas as cloud deployment, integration, security, governance, and master data management.

IT professionals can review the most popular SOA implementation topics and get answers to their own burning SOA questions by attending the interactive online class, "Wrap-up: The Best of Summer School 2011." The two-hour session is being offered at no cost as part of the WSO2 SOA Summer School program (http://wso2.org/training?072111w). It will be held on Wednesday, July 27, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific.
