Understanding Enterprise SOA is written for business managers and other non-technologists, as well as IT professionals who want the big picture. The book lays out the technological underpinnings of Web services and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) in a business context. It reveals the business issues of such topics as SOA security, management, utility computing, and business process management. Understanding Enterprise SOA, uses as an example a complex, multinational company seeking to address global process and infrastructure challenges. The book shows how a well-planned and executed SOA provides cost savings and efficiency. "Writing this book allowed me to express my views of the next phase in the evolution of software and enterprise technology," said author Eric Pulier. "Achieving an SOA brings dramatic benefits, but requires a deep understanding of both business and technology issues. I felt that writing a book would be the most effective way to communicate the challenges and opportunities." "This book should prove essential for any business professional evaluating or managing an SOA solution," says Jason Bloomberg, Senior Analyst at Zapthink. "Pulier's extensive knowledge and deep understanding of both business and technology make the book a compelling read on a complex subject." Marjan Bace, Publisher of Manning Publications, says, "We are excited to be working with Eric on this book. It fills an unmet need for a holistic look at both business and technology factors that come to the fore when one is rethinking enterprise architecture in terms of Web Services." "In 'Understanding Enterprise SOA' the authors provide business decision makers with valuable guidance to help them both understand and realize the potential of a service-oriented architecture approach to enable better alignment of business and IT," said Neil Macehiter, Partner, Macehiter Ward-Dutton. "They offer sound, pragmatic advice that acknowledges the pivotal roles of people and process - as well as technology - and recognizes the challenges organizations will face in adopting SOA".
