Delivering the Business Benefits of SOA: Dispelling the Myths, Clarifying the Benefits and Creating the Roadmap

Author:

David Campbell

Summary:

While the idea behind Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) is
simple; its implementation is anything but - particularly in a legacy environment.

This White Paper looks at the issues preventing organisations from
gaining the true business benefits of SOA. It provides a definition
of SOA, discusses its substantial potential benefits and highlights
the stumbling blocks organisations typically hit when trying to
implement it. It also describes methodologies for avoiding these
pitfalls and implementing SOA successfully.

the cost of doing business.
