Conventional wisdom of the "software stack" approach to building
applications may no longer be relevant. Enterprises are pursuing
new ways of organizing systems and processes to become service
oriented and event-driven. Leveraging existing infrastructural
investments is a critical aspect to the success of companies both
large and small. Enterprises have to adapt their systems to support
frequent technological changes, mergers and acquisitions.
Furthermore, in a growing global market, these systems are being
called upon to be used by external business partners. Technology is
often difficult, costly and complex and without modern approaches
can prevent the enterprise from becoming agile.
Enterprise Service Oriented Architectures helps readers solve
this challenge in making different applications communicate in a
loosely coupled manner. This classic handbook leverages the
experiences of thought leaders functioning in multiple industry
verticals and provides a wealth of knowledge for creating the agile
enterprise.

a [ How to balance the delivery of immediate business value
while creating long-term strategic capability
