Expand Your SOA Skills and Opportunities:
Become a Licensed ZapThink Architect (LZA)

Are you an enterprise architect or an aspiring architect looking to get third-party backing for your SOA capabilities?
Are you not finding what you want in self-serving, vendor-specific “certifications” that don’t provide the credentials you need to advance your architecture skills, career, and future direction?
What does it even mean to have SOA on your list of qualifications?
Do you want to leverage ZapThink’s brand, reach, reputation, and network to advance your SOA efforts?

If so, then the Licensed ZapThink Architect (LZA) program is for you. One of the biggest challenges facing the SOA marketplace is the lack of skilled architecture resources that are proficient on SOA methodologies, techniques, and approaches in ways that are not specific to the particular technology du-jour or an individual vendor implementation.

Increasingly, individuals like you are looking to get the backing of a qualified third-party organization to not only endorse their existing SOA skills, but also enable continuous improvement, enhanced networking with those looking for architecture resources, or enhance their current SOA-enabled careers. ZapThink is filling the unmet need for knowledge and credentials in this area, and we want you to be a part!The LZA credential is an annual credential. Since SOA and enterprise architecture as a whole undergoes continuous change, our ability to back your capabilities lasts as long as the knowledge is still thought-leading. As such, we offer our LZA program on an annual basis. The process for becoming a Licensed ZapThink Architect is straigth-forward and simple if you already have some enterprise architecture skills.
