Opis

Information Technology is in the midst of a revolutionary revamp. Legacy information systems that were deployed throughout the last two decades are becoming depreciated financially and cannot flexibly incorporate the extraordinary technology advances brought forth by the emergence of the Internet. "IT Transformation wit SOA" bridges the usual business/technology divide by providing a pragmatic, down-to-earth integrated view of the technology transformation process; from evaluating the need for transformation, to identifying the necessary selling points for a business case, to defining the architecture and design of the solution, and to managing the project execution. Since new IT systems are generally based on a Service Oriented Architecture, the book provides actual system design insights to properly implementing SOA, while avoiding the various SOA "gotchas" resulting from SOA's flexibility and potential inefficiencies. "IT Transformation" is intended for IT executives, CIOs, CTOs, software development managers, Product Managers, Chief Architects, Project Managers, and technically-savvy business executives. Anyone responsible for software transformation activities, involving the application of emerging techniques such as SOA, and Business Process Management will find the list of techniques, trials & tribulations helpful
