This book demonstrates service-oriented architecture (SOA) as a concrete discipline rather than a hopeful collection of cloud charts. Built upon the author’s firsthand experience rolling out a SOA at a major corporation, SOA in Practice explains how SOA can simplify the creation and maintenance of large-scale applications. Whether your project involves a large set of Web Services-based components, or connects legacy applications to modern business processes, this book clarifies how — and whethe

Product Description

This Financial Insights report examines the adoption of services oriented architecture (SOA) in Canadian financial services organizations. The report examines the importance institutions place on SOA as an IT strategy, the drivers behind adoption, the scope and magnitude of current and future projects, and planned investment in SOA-related software and services.

“SOA adoption has been sluggish in the Canadian market,” reports Patricia Howell, senior analyst, Canadian Financial Advisory Services. However, our recent research suggests that Canadian banks and capital markets firms have seen the compelling value proposition that SOA deployment can bring to their respective businesses and are prepared to act.”

Product Description
A new class of presentation layer is emerging to solve a range of user interface challenges. Users are demanding a rich client interface to Web Services that provides an end user experience similar to client/server applications, with a rich graphical user interface, responsive performance and highly interactive functionality. The goal of this emerging rich client solution is to provide the optimal combination of rich, low-cost interaction through standards-based distributed computing.

Curl is a veteran to the market of rich client solutions for distributed Internet applications. The basis of their solution is their own runtime environment called Surge that provides an executable environment for the Curl language. Curl also provides a language that supports a rich set of user interface capabilities that users can extend to provide additional functionality, from simple macros to direct control over the positioning of subcomponents.

Curl: Pioneering Rich Clients for SOAs ZapNote

Product Description

This IDC study assesses the market opportunity for software revenue driven by service oriented architectures (SOAs) in 2004 and presents a forecast for 2005–2009. Historical and forecast revenue data is shown for the total worldwide market, along with segmentation by primary software market. This study does not contain vendor-specific revenue, market shares, or vendor profiles.

“SOA has had a viral impact on the IT industry at large — to a much greater degree than institutional adoption has incurred thus far. But ‘innovation in moderation’ has been the mode of many enterprises, and SOA-based initiatives are no exception. Those that indeed have made headway proceeding down this path have for the most been pleased with the results thus far and fully acknowledge that it is hard work. However, more robust implementations that stand the test of time need to occur to truly gauge how disruptive this trend will truly bear out to be,” said Sandra Rogers, program director for SOA, Web Services, and Integration research at IDC.

Product Description

This study examines the SOA competitive landscape from a services perspective by profiling and then comparing eight major service vendors on IDC’s Leadership Grid. “Each service provider has been on its own SOA journey for many years and has developed an increasingly sophisticated response to the changing market needs around SOA. The service vendors have matured significantly in their ability to provide SOA services since IDC evaluated them a few years ago, yet this maturation has not happened in the same way or at the same pace. There is still a great deal of variability among the various vendors which makes it an especially intriguing and interesting industry to watch,” states Marianne Hedin, research manager, IDC Worldwide Services Research Program.
