The Expert, Practical Guide to Succeeding with SOA in the Enterprise In Executing SOA, four experienced SOA implementers share realistic, proven, “from-the-trenches” guidance for successfully delivering on even the largest and most complex SOA initiative. This book follows up where the authors’ best-selling Service-Oriented Architecture Compass left off, showing how to overcome key obstacles to successful SOA implementation and identifying best practices for all facets of execution—technical, organizational, and human. Among the issues it addresses: introducing a services discipline that supports collaboration and information process sharing; integrating services with preexisting technology assets and strategies; choosing the right roles for new tools; shifting culture, governance, and architecture; and bringing greater agility to the entire organizational lifecycle, not just isolated projects. Executing SOA is an indispensable resource for every enterprise architect, technical manager, and IT leader tasked with driving value from SOA in complex environments. Coverage includes · Implementing SOA governance that reflects the organization’s strategic and business focus · Running SOA projects successfully: practical guidelines and proven methodologies around service modeling and design · Leveraging reusable assets: making the most of your SOA repository · Enabling the architect to choose the correct tools and products containing the features required to execute on the SOA method for service design and implementation · Defining information services to get the right information to the right people at the right time · Integrating SOA with Web 2.0 and other innovative products and solutions · Providing highly usable human interfaces in SOA environments

Executing Soa: A Practical Guide for the Service-Oriented Architect

Mitra, Tilak

Service-Oriented Architecture is becoming the leading architecture for IT, and it is changing the way organisations work. IT is slowly but steadily gaining maturity, and becoming the flexible yet stable and reliable support for business it should be. At the same time, IT is regaining its potential to create real business innovation. SOA will be an enormous step in the right direction for any organisation, but only if it is not approached as solely a technology issue. Technology is very interesting, and poses many challenges, but the real value will only be found when addressing the many coherent aspects that define the workings of business and IT in modern organisations. _SOA for Profit_ explains the value and essence of SOA. It makes SOA practical and pragmatic: turning models and vision into an actionable approach to start doing SOA in projects that deliver businessvalue. It emphasizes the importance of governance and architecture and shows that a broad vision of SOA is essential for deriving benefits from it. This book will bridge the gap between business and IT by providing tools and a common language that can be used when starting up a strategic dialogue that is the basis of business driven IT. Written by a team of authors from Sogeti and IBM, _SOA for Profit_ is a real-world book: based on experiences with real companies and real projects.
