The Expert, Practical Guide to Succeeding with SOA in the Enterprise

nbsp;

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.

nbsp;

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.

nbsp;

Executing SOA is an indispensable resource for every enterprise architect, technical manager, and IT leader tasked with driving value from SOA in complex environments.
