SOA Software Founder and Chairman Publishes Book 

 

Understanding Enterprise SOA to highlight Eric Pulier's 

Leadership in Service-Oriented Architecture 

November 14, 2005 - SOA Software, the leading provider of comprehensive
SOA and Web services management, security and governance solutions,
announced today that Eric Pulier, its founder and chairman, is
publishing his first book, Understanding Enterprise SOA, with Manning
Publications.  


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".
