Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA): A Planning and Implementation Guide for Business and Technology 1st Edition
by Eric A. Marks (Author), Michael Bell (Author)
Praise for Service-Oriented Architecture
"This
book provides a superb overview of the SOA topic. Marks and Bell
provide practical guidance across the entire SOA life cycle-from
business imperatives and motivations to the post-deployment business and
technical metrics to consider. With this book, Marks and Bell
demonstrate a unique ability to take the complex dynamics of SOA, and
through an eloquent set of metaphors, models, and principles, provide an
understandable and insightful how-to manual for both technical and
business executives. This will become a required handbook for any
organization implementing SOA."
―Dan Bertrand, Enterprise Technology Officer & EDS Fellow, EDS Corporation
"A
fundamental breakthrough in the business and technology perspectives of
SOA-this book belongs in every software developer, architect, and IT
executive library. Marks and Bell demonstrate a creative and practical
approach to building complex, service-oriented systems. I especially
liked the hands-on perspective brought to multiple aspects of SOA. A
must-have guide in the technology turbulence of the future."
―Ariel Aloni, Chief Technology Officer, SunGard Data Management Solutions
"This
outstanding text gets straight to the heart of the matter, cutting
through the hyperbole and discussing how to drive real business value
through SOA. It will certainly impact my behavior, our governance
models, and, subsequently, the successful business outcomes we derive as
we continue to embrace SOA. A must-read for battle-scarred SOA veterans
and fledgling architects alike."
―Christopher Crowhurst, Vice President and Chief Architect, Thomson Learning
"Too
often, SOA has been perceived as 'all about the technology'-standards,
technology stacks, operational monitoring, and the like. In this book,
Marks and Bell expand beyond the technology to provide a refreshing
business-driven perspective to SOA, connecting the dots between business
requirements, architecture, and development and operations, and
overlaying these perspectives with tried-and-true governance techniques
to keep SOA initiatives on track. A must-read for those leading the
charge to adopt SOA within their enterprise."
―Brent Carlson, Chief Technology Officer, LogicLibrary and coauthor of San Francisco Design Patterns: Blueprints for Business Software
"Marks
and Bell have captured a wealth of practical experience and lessons
learned in what has become the hottest topic in software development. In
this book, they explain in detail what works and what does not, from
procedural issues to technical challenges. This book is an invaluable
reference for organizations seeking the benefits of SOAs."
―Dr. Jeffrey S. Poulin, System Architect, Lockheed Martin and author of Measuring Software Reuse: Principles, Practices, and Economic Models
"One
of the last things companies often consider when implementing a
business solution such as SOA is the impact on people. Marks and Bell
provide an in-depth look at 'what has to change' from a process
standpoint to make any SOA implementation a success. A great read for
those considering to embark on an enterprise SOA and looking for the
right mix of people, process, and products."
―Alan Himler, Vice President of Product Management and Marketing, LogicLibrary
