Enterprise Services Architecture

Więcej o książce

This book outlines a structured approach to understanding how enterprise applications will utilize web services. Targeted at senior management and IT professionals, it presents a forward-looking architecture designed to address future development challenges with agility. The concept of Enterprise Services Architecture applies service-oriented architecture and object-oriented design principles to today's diverse IT landscape. It introduces enterprise services as high-level components that aggregate web services into reusable elements, fundamentally altering how vendors create applications and how companies utilize them. Monolithic applications will be disassembled into layers and offered as components, leading to reduced integration costs and enhanced flexibility. This shift emphasizes the importance of design, modeling, and architecture in crafting optimal structures from these components, ultimately enabling businesses to optimize operations without IT infrastructure bottlenecks. The book aims to help customers and the broader market understand the ongoing architectural revolution. Commissioned by SAP, it will be used to promote their products, but is also available through retailers for those interested beyond SAP's immediate audience.
