This willbecome a required handbook for any organization implementingSOA." --Dan Bertrand, Enterprise Technology Officer & EDSFellow, EDS Corporation "A fundamental breakthrough in the business and technologyperspectives of SOA-this book belongs in every software developer,architect, and IT executive library. Marks and Bell demonstrate acreative and practical approach to building complex,service-oriented systems. I especially liked the hands-onperspective brought to multiple aspects of SOA. A must-have guidein the technology turbulence of the future." --Ariel Aloni, Chief Technology Officer, SunGard DataManagement Solutions "This outstanding text gets straight to the heart of the matter,cutting through the hyperbole and discussing how to drive realbusiness value through SOA. It will certainly impact my behavior,our governance models, and, subsequently, the successful businessoutcomes we derive as we continue to embrace SOA. A must-read forbattle-scarred SOA veterans and fledgling architects alike." --Christopher Crowhurst, Vice President and Chief Architect,Thomson Learning "Too often, SOA has been perceived as 'all about thetechnology'-standards, technology stacks, operational monitoring,and the like. In this book, Marks and Bell expand beyond thetechnology to provide a refreshing business-driven perspective toSOA, connecting the dots between business requirements,architecture, and development and operations, and overlaying theseperspectives with tried-and-true governance techniques to keep SOAinitiatives on track.
