IBM Certified Administrator for SOA Solutions - WebSphere Process Server V6.2

This intermediate level certification is intended for system administrators that perform the installation, configuration and day-to-day tasks associated with ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of the WebSphere Process Server runtime environment. This includes product installation, configuration and deployment of business processes and adapters, connecting to back-end resources and basic troubleshooting. These individuals tune the WebSphere Process Server runtime environment with respect to resource utilization, scaling, clustering and load balancing as appropriate.  These individuals also have a good grasp on fundamentals of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and are able to articulate business and technical values of SOA, identify the barriers to adopting SOA in their organization, can participate in crafting and enforcing SOA governance and help bridge the gap between business and technical teams.
