SOA Governance White Paper: IT Governance in the Context of Service Orientation»rank: 659910by: ZapThink, Jason Bloomberg
: :In today’s tough business climate of heightened competition, complex regulations, and constant change, the issue of corporate governance has risen to the top of many executives’ minds. Management must be able to set the groundrules that everybody within their company has to follow, they must require the visibility needed to confirm that people are following the rules, and they must have the control necessary to make the appropriate adjustments. No area of an enterprise’s operations are as complex as information technology (IT). Combine this complexity with the typical IT shop’s inflexibility and opacity, and it’s no wonder that IT governance is the most critical area of corporate governance in today’s competitive enterprise. ... |

Metadata: The Lifeblood of the SOA White Paper»rank: 2976977by: ZapThink, Jason Bloomberg
: :Enterprises need information and application visibility across their IT environment, regardless of how far along they are in their plans to implement an enterprise-wide Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Without visibility into the workings of the systems, applications, and other elements of their IT infrastructure, businesses are unable to manage or improve their IT environment, and most importantly, meet their business requirements. Today, however, only a few companies have implemented SOAs. As companies build such architectures, the need for visibility becomes even more acute, because an SOA represents an abstraction layer that masks the complexity of the underlying technology while at the same time providing greater power and agility to the business user. Thus, ... |

Building Security into a Service-Oriented Architecture White Paper»rank: 3404379by: ZapThink, Jason Bloomberg
: :Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) based upon Web Services are an evolutionary improvement upon existing IT architectures, primarily because these SOAs offer loose coupling between Service producers and consumers. Loose coupling refers to a level of independence between the participants in a Web Services interaction that allows them to interact on their own terms, without requiring substantial changes on one system when the other changes. Such loose coupling enables an enterprise’s IT infrastructure to be agile in the face of change.Loose coupling, however, while simple to understand, is complex to implement. There are many requirements facing an enterprise’s IT infrastructure that threaten the loose coupling of its architecture, and the most significant of these ... |
