In his book Flow Architectures, James Urquhart envisions a “worldwide flow” delivering real-time information across enterprise boundaries. It’s a future many would love to see, but will it arrive on schedule in 2034? Will it arrive at all? Joining James to discuss and debate are two enterprise architects trying to push the vision into reality: Clemens Vaster (Messaging Architect at Microsoft) and Jesse Menning (Architect in the CTO’s office at Solace).
