Lack of software asset reusability standards, absence of software interoperability
disciplines, and incoherent business and technology strategies drove the enterprise to establish a
more suitable model that promised to foster business agility and increase return on investment.
This model also galvanized the development of SOA governance best practices, introduced SOA
products, and promoted new service-oriented modeling disciplines.
The enterprise is still seeking mechanisms that can alleviate alignment challenges between
business and information technology (IT) organizations. This effort includes the establishment of
a common service taxonomy and vocabulary??”an easy-to-understand language that can fill in the
communication gaps between the problem and solution domain entities and establish a proper
service development life cycle.
Unlike other SOA books on the market, this one introduces a service-oriented modeling
framework that employs an agile and universal business and technology language to facilitate
analysis, design, and architecture initiatives. The service-oriented modeling disciplines presented
will enable practitioners to integrate existing legacy applications and to incorporate new ideas
and concepts to address organizational concerns. These proposed best practices can be applied to
all technologies, software platforms, and languages despite their physical location or ownership.
