: :Coding business logic is the only way to satisfy business requirements in information technology (IT), and businesses have been doing so for decades, albeit with limited success. The fundamental problem with business logic has been its inflexibility—business needs change, and the logic can’t keep up. While there have been modest flexibility improvements since the days when all application functionality resided on the same system, the unfortunate truth is that these advances have been little more than a business logic shell game, moving the hard-coded logic from one system to another. ... |
Teros: Securing Web Services Data and Interfaces ZapNote»rank: 6354237by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :As systems become more distributed and abstracted through Web Services-based SOAs and other means, it becomes increasingly difficult for a company to gain adequate knowledge of their vulnerabilities and the level to which their systems are exposed. In addition, companies must safeguard the data that is transmitted between systems. In the case of Web Services, this data is known as the “payload” that is transmitted within and between organizations. Teros leverages a history of providing deep content inspection for traditional Web applications that is apropos for solving Web Services payload ... |

Testing Web Services Report»rank: 6354237by: ZapThink, Jason Bloomberg
: :Key Findings: Web Services promise to fundamentally change the distributed computing landscape. This new landscape will present new testing scenarios and problems that companies using Web Services don't currently understand. Today’s enterprises that are dabbling in Web Services aren’t inquiring about or requesting testing solutions. The whole concept of a software development lifecycle will fall by the wayside as companies realize the advantages of orchestrating loosely coupled Services into coarse-grained business Services. As enterprises follow the Web Services model and move from phase one (through 2003) to phase three (2005 ... |

Understanding Service-Oriented Architectures Presentation»rank: 3043662by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :Integration is not about simply plugging two systems or organizations into each other. The vision of 'plug and play' application and system integration is a pipe dream that may be appropriate for in the distant future, but right now enterprises face the more immediate challenge of connecting arbitrary systems in a manner that is cost effective, manageable, efficient and secure. Ron Schmelzer, senior analyst, ZapThink, gives you soup-to-nuts expertise for Web services and the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), as they represent an approach for integrating systems using an abstracted methodology called ... |
