IBM SOA Technology Made Simple: Building a Service Oriented Architecture for On Demand Business

by Bobby Woolf, Jim Hoskins (Foreword)

Presented by IBM, the industry leader in service oriented architecture (SOA), this informative primer offers everything a company needs to redesign their information technology (IT) infrastructure in order to increase business flexibility and innovation. By migrating to an SOA infrastructure, businesses can more adequately accommodate changes in their process by rewiring individual services without requiring a complete process overhaul. The book teaches corporations how to prepare for SOA, how to get started with services, and how to build the necessary IT infrastructure, including what IBM products are needed to do so. IT professionals will also learn how to develop SOA applications and utilize a newly-created programming model for SOA, as well as the important role of SOA governance.
