John Stepper brings SOA to Deutsche Bank
My last one-on-one interview featured a coding cowboy's successful fast-draw approach to service-oriented architecture. But that's not the only maverick approach in innovative IT shops. At Deutsche Bank in New York, John Stepper is doing the SOA equivalent of changing an engine while the car is running.
Stepper is Managing IT Director of Equity Derivatives & Equity Finance. After an influential board member established SOA as an objective to improve the bank's global operations, Stepper stepped in. He kicked-off an expansive yet Agile methodology that is quickly moving the bank to a global service-orientation, with a minimum of fuss and pain.
