Product Description
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, By RobC (Phoenix) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Executing SOA: A Practical Guide for the Service-Oriented Architect (Kindle Edition)
This book contains much valuable information, but I see little that is not readily available on the web. Just do some searching and you can find this information quickly enough. If you don't mind paying for information that is available for free, then buy this book. Look at sites like zapthink, searchsoa.com, soa-consortium.org. Also look at a book named "An Implementor's Guide to Service Oriented Architecture - Getting It Right" and authors like Thomas Erl.
Informative and useful,
This review is from: Executing SOA: A Practical Guide for the Service-Oriented Architect (Paperback)
I have read a lot of white papers, articles and books on SOA but this book is one of the best I have read on the subject. It basically gives you a chart for your journey into SOA. It takes you down the path, step by step, of what has to be done to be succesful with your SOA initiative and most importantly, it explains why. I would recommend this book to anyone who really wants to do SOA the right way.

This review is from: Executing SOA: A Practical Guide for the Service-Oriented Architect (Paperback)
This book achieves excellence on many levels, from defining business services and processes as the business itself thru to elucidation of the new RUP/SOMA process. While pieces of this material may appear elsewhere, this short work is packed with the right information in all the right places. Certainly supplement with relevant material from the field and customize to your organization and culture, but I recommend this book be on the shelf of all SOA managers and architects. I have 20+ years software development, 15 years as architect and 8 years as senior SOA architect and this book is prominently on my shelf and has been most highly recommended.Thank you to the authors and IBM for helping to define and lead the way in how today's software development should be performed. |
