Transparent IT: Building Blocks for an Agile Enterprise
The central theme of this book is that the adoption of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) as the basis for an organization's information technology will enable the organization to achieve sustained growth and adapt to a changing economic and competitive environment.
Integration and SOA
At the core, SOA is about creating systems out of standard building blocks. Many of the principles underlying SOA, such as isolating finctionality to promote reusability, are long-standing best practices. In the past, however, adoption of SOA was hindered by a lack of widely accepted standards for putting together these buuidling blocks. Now the pressing demands of business - which necessitate increased system flexibility and adabtibility - have inspired nearly all organizations to align on a single set of standards for SOA: Web services.

Service Oriented Enterprises
Global collaboration and emerging corporate cultures are creating a new type of innovative enterprise: one that is based on services.

Each party or participant in service orientation sees themselves as service provider as well as a service consumer, in an increasingly well connected global economy. This book focuses both on the cultural service dimension, as well the emerging architecture of service orientation.
