Enterprise Architecture For Integration

by Clive Finkelstein

Overview

With the rapid pace of change in today's business environment, the need to transform organizations into agile enterprises that can respond quickly to change has never been greater. Methods and computer technologies are needed to enable rapid business and system change. This practical book shows how to achieve agility. The solution lies in Enterprise Integration (both business and technology integration). For business integration, this book explains how to use enterprise architecture rapid delivery methods to integrate data, processes, locations, people, events, and business plans throughout an organization.

To attain technology integration, this cutting-edge resource shows how to use XML, enterprise portals, enterprise application integration (EAI), Web services, service-oriented architecture (SOA), and business process management (BPM) languages. This book provides in-depth descriptions of these technologies, along with relevant products from software vendors. Moreover, professionals learn how the technologies and software products are used for rapid delivery of priority activities and processes into production in 3-month increments. Numerous case studies, diagrams, charts, screenshots, and examples of vendor products and strategies are included to help readers master key topics.
