Mike Wyvill

Mike Wyvill works for Fidelity International as an Enterprise Architect, with particular responsibility for Application Integration. He has worked in IT for over 20 years in the insurance and banking sectors, experiencing the full development lifecycle in developer, analyst, designer and architect roles.

Mike led the adoption of Websphere Message Broker when he worked at Friends Provident, designing and developing the architecture frameworks to provide rapid delivery of SOA services and further point solutions. The pilot implementation project was an Event Management system, that required the high performance of WMQ and WMB, plus the sophistication of content based filtering that Message Broker provides.
