IBM today announced plans to open a SOA leadership centre in India designed to address business challenges using service oriented architectures (SOA).

The centre will be set up in Bangalore, and would be the first-of-its-kind in Asia-Pacific and the fourth in a series of SOA leadership centers planned across the world. The centre will become fully functional during the first quarter of 2008.

The SLC in Bangalore will be staffed by IBM’s global SOA experts, and will focus on three key areas: SOA education and training, SOA implementation support, and SOA exhibitions and demonstrations.

“Opening this centre is a direct response to what our customers in India are demanding,” said Panini Dwivedi, Country Manager – WebSphere, Software Group, IBM India/ SA.

He added: “IBM has helped thousands of early SOA adopters around the world successfully overcome some of today’s most challenging business problems using SOA. Now, the SOA Leadership Centre can help customers develop the skills and knowledge to help enable them to use an SOA to attain business goals. Partnering with local universities will also be a major focus of the center, with a goal of building SOA skills in the emerging work force in India.” Source: business-standard
