New eBook from IT Strategy Consultant Marcello Sabatini.Many technical descriptions of Service Oriented Architectures are available and there is no need to add an ebook to describe very well known concepts to the same technical audience. However, very few material presenting SOAs to non technical managers is available. The aim of this ebook is to help CIOs on the difficult task of presenting the business value of service orientation and SOAs to their management.
Pisa, Italy, March 30 2011 – Service Oriented Architectures are well known to all Information Technology (IT) professionals and there is apparently no need to write any further on this subject. However:
CIOs (Chief Information Officers) are inclined to give SOA a technological meaning but, at the same time, they have difficulties when presenting the concepts of service orientation to their management and to the business lines (the decision makers).
The company management (Business Unit Directors, General Directors, Managing Directors) don’t (usually) speak the language of technology but, however, they need to understand such a new philosophy and if and how it can bring benefits to their company strategy.
Service orientation and Service Oriented Architectures represent a big opportunity for companies of any size to acquire the ability to quickly react to changes in their strategies and to give to the information systems departments a more efficient organization.
Marcello Sabatini, senior IT strategy consultant says: “Among the many opportunities offered by the Information Technology, the philosophy of Service Orientation and the Service Oriented Architectures are the most revolutionary way to ease the integration between technology and business. The problem is to go beyond the pure technical understanding of SOAs and to make their strategic value clear to the decision makers.”
The new ebook “Service Orientation and Service Oriented Architectures made clear to non technical management” explains briefly and in simple non technical words the main characteristics of the Service Orientation philosophy and main components of an SOA architectures. It’s a 30 page ebook whose content can be of help to whoever wants to present a migration project to the top management.
