SYS-CON Media announced today that the Website showcasing one of its most distinguished titles, SOA World Magazine, has been stunningly re-designed and re-launched at SOA 2009 - where under the technical-savvy leadership of longtime Editor Sean Rhody, SOA World Magazine continues to publish in-depth perspectives, technical features, industry columns, book reviews and excerpts, all written by thought leaders in the worldwide SOA community.

Most important, the all-new site introduces for the first time a welter of new and original social features, including the ability for every member of the SOA community to create his or her own wholly individual customized home page, in connection with the articles and blogs they contribute to the community. It is now simple to become a high-profile member of the most active group of SOA experts anywhere on the Web, and with just a few clicks to obtain a 100% professional-standard homepage that will become the mainstay of many contributors' web- and professional life, and deeply integrated with SOA 2009 into the bargain!

"The new look and feel of the SOA 2009 site, and most especially the brand new and dynamic functionality that has been created to support it, represents a timely reminder of the continuing significance of the worldwide SOA user base," said Jeremy Geelan, Sr. Vice-President, Editorial & Events at SYS-CON Media.

"SOA World Magazine has published 4,573 technical articles, tutorials, feature stories and reviews on SOA," said SYS-CON founder Fuat Kircaali. "SYS-CON has served more than 8 million pages to SOA World Magazine readers."
