Product Description

While Web services technology is a straightforward extension of existing Internet technology, its ultimate impact on the enterprise will be profound. The Web Services and Service Oriented Architecture Revolution is about providing dramatic business performance improvements through incremental technological innovation. While the initial focus of the revolution is on cost reduction, the ultimate objective is to enable the “Agile Enterprise.”

Current marketplace disillusionment notwithstanding, author Melvin B. Greer Jr. provides immediate, real-world project benefits to those willing and able to develop and follow a well-conceived Web services game plan. Embarking on this journey is not an easy endeavor, and the stakes are high. But some businesses are already achieving significant benefits in actual mission-critical, high-performance, productive applications that rely on Web services technology.

Don’t let your competitors begin the migration to this emerging technology before you do. With patience and the right help, your enterprise can succeed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Time-saver, January 9, 2007
By kkarre (Nacka, Sweden) - See all my reviews
A wonderfully concise book without the typically verbose pay-per-word variants the IT book market has too much of!

I'll lend my copy to whichever customer needs to know the business value of SOA - AND whoever needs to realize NOW is the time to go ahead!

5.0 out of 5 stars Roadmap to Web-Services SOA Success!, April 25, 2006
If you're ready to propel your enterprise into the next technological realm - if you're interested in architecting an enterprise that is agile enough to respond to rapidly changing business drivers - if you're ready for a revolution in traditional approaches to technology innovation, then this book is the light in what has been a somewhat obscure tunnel. Author Melvin Greer gives a timely, insightful, and easy to grasp roadmap for leveraging SOA, and more specifically web services-based SOA, to realize dramatic improvement in interoperability, scalability, flexibility, reusability and the all important cost efficiency.
