Description

Praise for Service-Oriented Architecture
Compass
"A comprehensive roadmap to Service-Oriented
Architecture (SOA). SOA is, in reality, a business architecture to be used by
those enterprises intending to prosper in the 21st century. Decision makers
who desire that their business become flexible can jumpstart that process by
adopting the best practices and rules of thumb described in SOA
Compass."
–Bob Laird, MCI IT Chief Architect
"The book Service-Oriented Architecture Compass
shows very clearly by means of real projects how agile business processes
can be implemented using Service-Oriented Architectures. The entire
development cycle from planning through implementation is presented very close
to practice and the critical success factors are presented very
convincingly."
–Professor Dr. Thomas Obermeier, Vice Dean of FHDW Bergisch
Gladbach, Germany
"This book is a major improvement in the field. It
gives a clear view and all the key points on how to really face a SOA
deployment in today's organizations."
–Mario Moreno, IT Architect Leader, Generali France
"Service-Oriented Architecture enables organizations to
be agile and flexible enough to adopt new business strategies and produce new
services to overcome the challenges created by business dynamism today. CIOs
have to consider SOA as a foundation of their Enterprise Applications
Architecture primarily because it demonstrates that IT aligns to business
processes and also because it positions IT as a service enabler and maximizes
previous investments on business applications.
To understand and profit from SOA, this book provides
CIOs with the necessary concepts and knowledge needed to understand and adapt
it into their IT organizations."
–Sabri Hamed Al-Azazi, CIO of Dubai Holding, Sabri
"I am extremely impressed by the depth and scale of
this book! The title is perfect–when you know where you want to go, you need a
compass to guide you there! After good IT strategy leads you to SOA, this book
is the perfect vehicle that will drive you from dream to reality. We in DSK
Bank will use it as our SOA bible in the ongoing project."
–Miro Vichev, CIO, DSK Bank, Bulgaria, member of OTP Group
"Service-Oriented Architecture offers a pathway to
networking of intra- and inter-corporate business systems. The standards have
the potential to create far more flexible and resilient business information
systems than have been possible in the past. This book is a must-read for
those who care about the future of business IT."
–Elizabeth Hackenson, CIO, MCI
"Service-Oriented Architecture is key to help customers
become on demand businesses–a business that can quickly respond to competitive
threats and be first to take advantage of marketplace opportunities. SOA
Compass is a must-read for those individuals looking to bridge the gap
between IT and business in order to help their enterprises become more
flexible and responsive."
–Michael Liebow, Vice President, Web Services and
Service-Oriented Architecture, IBM Business Consulting Services
"This book is a welcome addition to SOA literature. It
articulates the business case and provides practical proven real-world advice,
guidance, tips, and techniques for organizations to make the evolution from
simple point-to-point web services to true SOA by addressing such topics as
planning, organization, analysis and design, security, and systems
management."
–Denis O'Sullivan, Fireman's Fund Enterprise Architect
Maximize the business value and flexibility of your SOA
deployment
In this book, IBM Enterprise Integration Team experts
present a start-to-finish guide to planning, implementing, and managing
Service-Oriented Architecture. Drawing on their extensive experience helping
enterprise customers migrate to SOA, the authors share hard-earned lessons and
best practices for architects, project managers, and software development
leaders alike.
Well-written and practical, Service-Oriented
Architecture Compass offers the perfect blend of principles and "how-to"
guidance for transitioning your infrastructure to SOA. The authors clearly
explain what SOA is, the opportunities it offers, and how it differs from
earlier approaches. Using detailed examples from IBM consulting engagements,
they show how to deploy SOA solutions that tightly integrate with your
processes and operations, delivering maximum flexibility and value. With
detailed coverage of topics ranging from policy-based management to workflow
implementation, no other SOA book offers comparable value to workingIT
professionals.
Coverage includes

SOA from both a business and technical standpoint–and
how to make the business case

Planning your SOA project: best practices and
pitfalls to avoid

SOA analysis and design for superior flexibility and
value

Securing and managing your SOA environment

Using SOA to simplify enterprise application
integration

Implementing business processes and workflow in SOA
environments

Case studies in SOA deployment

After you've deployed: delivering better
collaboration, greater scalability, and more sophisticated
applications
