The LZA SOA & Cloud Architecture Boot Camp is an intensive, four day "fire hose" of information that prepares you to succeed with your SOA and Cloud efforts, whether you're just beginning them or are well down the road with SOA and Cloud Computing.
ZapThink's LZA SOA Training is the only public course that ZapThink offers, reflecting the best thinking and research that ZapThink produces.
| ZapThink's LZA SOA training & certification has no prerequisites, and is designed for architects, but appropriate for people with different roles and levels of expertise. This course is valuable for anyone who wants in-depth knowledge about how to succeed with SOA. |
What makes the LZA SOA & Cloud Architecture Boot Camp so special?
 Vendor independent - We discuss vendors in context, both good and bad. You get a balanced perspective on each vendor we discuss.
Architect focused - The course concentrates on what architects have to do to be successful with SOA in their own organizations. We balance technology details with organizational approaches. If you're not an architect you'll learn how to think like one in this class!
Practical - we connect theory to practice with what really works in organizations like yours.
Current - we refresh the course on a regular basis to reflect the latest SOA and Cloud best practices, as well as how SOA relates to other architectural challenges in the enterprise.
Enterprise context - SOA is an approach to organizing enterprise IT resources to meet changing business needs. We place SOA into the context of large organizations, with complex, heterogeneous IT environments and all the politics and bureaucracy that every large organization faces.
Globally recognized certification - Everybody who completes the LZA SOA Boot Camp obtains a certificate representing their LZA credential, giving you the right to call yourself a Licensed ZapThink Architect with all the privileges that come along with this exclusive credential.
Led by globally recognized SOA thought leader - All ZapThink's courses are developed and led by Jason Bloomberg, ZapThink Managing Partner. Jason has been an analyst with ZapThink since 2001 and is the co-author of Service Orient or Be Doomed!
Not too technical, not too high - level - Unlike courses offered by SOASchool, CBDI, Web Age, SOA Institute, SOA Certified Professional (SOACP), Architecting the Enterprise (AtE), IBM, Oracle, Software AG, and others, we cover the technology without getting lost in the details. We discuss the big picture but connect it to the day-to-day reality of the IT shop.
Available around the world - See the event schedule on this page for all the locations we're offering the LZA SOA Boot Camp!
Different ways to take a ZapThink course
Public Enrollment Courses - Given around the world by Jason Bloomberg in person, our public enrollment courses have the special benefit of learning from other architects in other organizations.
Private Enrollment Courses - Have a group of 20 or more? Bring expert trainer Jason Bloomberg and the LZA course in-house! Save money and have a course at a location and time most convenient for your organization.
Online, Self-Paced Course - If you don't have the travel budget or flexibility for an in-person course, ZapThink offers an online version as well.
Special courses for special needs - If you'd like to bring ZapThink into your organization but the LZA course isn't a good fit, we can modify it to suit your needs. We also offer a SOA and Cloud Governance course, SOA for Managers course, and a DoDAF with SOA course as well.
