Synopsis
PRAISE FOR SERVICE ORIENT OR BE DOOMED! HOW SERVICE ORIENTATION WILL CHANGE YOUR BUSINESS "The real value of this book is that it makes SOA and Web services, which are critical and business- transforming, crystal-clear to the layman, both business and IT leaders. The book stays focused on the real-world issues facing business and government institutions today. In an industry full of experts of many stripes, Ron and Jason are the real thing: savvy, experienced, and realistic. They have produced a must-read book for management." Paul Lipton, Senior Architect, Unicenter Web Services and Application Management Computer Associates "This is by far the finest publication on SOA of our time. From cover to back, Service Orient or Be Doomed! strips away the layers of confusion most IT stakeholders face when confronted with enterprise architecture, and illustrates pragmatic and practical paths towards a sustainable and efficient enterprise architecture.

Dave Linthicum, CEO, BRIDGEWERX "Jason and Ron are experts on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and have written the first book that is aimed at helping a nontechnical businessperson understand why the SOA computing revolution is critical to business.
