Enterprise Services Architecture outlines a disciplined and structured approach to understanding how today's enterprise applications will make use of web services. This book, aimed at senior management and IT professionals, presents a forward-looking architecture that can meet future development challenges with ease and agility."Enterprise Services Architecture, as described in this book, is an application of service-oriented architecture and sound principles of object-oriented design applied to the current heterogeneous world of IT architecture. Enterprise services are the high-level components that aggregate web services into reusable elements. The new world of Enterprise Services Architecture will change the way all vendors build applications and the way companies use them. Monolithic applications will be broken apart into layers and offered as components. The reduced cost of integration and flexibility will make design, modeling, and architecture vital commodities as companies craft the optimal structure out of these components. The benefit should be the ability to optimize the business without a bottleneck in the IT infrastructure, which is too often the case. The ultimate goal of this book is to help our customers and the marketplace at large come to grips with the architectural revolution that is underway."--Hasso Plattner, Chairman, SAP AG Supervisory BoardThis book was commissioned by SAP and will be used by SAP to promote their products. We're making it available through our retailers because we believe the information in it is of interest to readers outside of SAP's immediate sphere.

Today's corporate computing environment is too often characterized by silos of data in enterprise applications like ERP, CRM, and supply chain management. Integrating these applications involves hardwiring connections between them, often resulting in a rigid and inefficient IT infrastructure. Packaged Composite Applications (PCAs) are an innovative answer to this dysfunctional scenario. Originated by SAP, one of the worlds foremost technology companies, PCAs represent a new architectural paradigm for enterprise computing. Using web services, they combine new functionality with services from existing applications to enable flexible, cross-functional automation. But is this new model right for your business? That's where this book comes in. Packaged Composite Applications is the result of a systematic search through the brain trust of SAP for all of the relevant arguments, examples, concepts, and analogies related to Packaged Composite Applications. This book is not a marketing treatise about neatly-shaped colored boxes. It is not a backward-looking, outdated description of a product without context. This book, rather, combines the approach of a forward-looking analyst with the perspective of an executive who must make things work, without skimping on the relevant technical details. The author examines the ideas driving PCAs forward in the marketplace and the problems and solutions that an executive and technologist will encounter in implementation. The result is an authoritative text that allows all interested parties to assess the value of PCAs for their lives as executives, technologists, analysts, sales representatives, and users.

Open source software is changing the world of Information Technology. But making it work for your company is far more complicated than simply installing a copy of Linux. If you are serious about using open source to cut costs, accelerate development, and reduce vendor lock-in, you must institutionalize skills and create new ways of working. You must understand how open source is different from commercial software and what responsibilities and risks it brings. Open Source for the Enterprise is a sober guide to putting open source to work in the modern IT department.
Open source software is software whose code is freely available to anyone who wants to change and redistribute it. New commercial support services, smaller licensing fees, increased collaboration, and a friendlier platform to sell products and services are just a few of the reasons open source is so attractive to IT departments. Some of the open source projects that are in current, widespread use in businesses large and small include Linux, FreeBSD, Apache, MySQL, PostgreSQL, JBOSS, and Perl. These have been used to such great effect by Google, Amazon, Yahoo!, and major commercial and financial firms, that a wave of publicity has resulted in recent years, bordering on hype. Large vendors such as IBM, Novell, and Hewlett Packard have made open source a lynchpin of their offerings. Open source has entered a new area where it is being used as a marketing device, a collaborative software development methodology, and a business model.
This book provides something far more valuable than either the cheerleading or the fear-mongering one hears about open source. The authors are Dan Woods, former CTO of TheStreet.com and a consultant and author of several books about IT, and Gautam Guliani, Director of Software Architecture at Kaplan Test Prep &amp; Admissions. Each has used open source software for some 15 years at IT departments large and small. They have collected the wisdom of a host of experts from IT departments, open source communities, and software companies.
Open Source for the Enterprise provides a top to bottom view not only of the technology, but of the skills required to manage it and the organizational issues that must be addressed. Here are the sorts of questions answered in the book:
<ul>
<li>Why is there a "productization gap" in most open source projects?</li>
<li>How can the maturity of open source be evaluated?</li>
<li>How can the ROI of open source be calculated?</li>
<li>What skills are needed to use open source?</li>
<li>What sorts of open source projects are appropriate for IT departments at the beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert levels?</li>
<li>What questions need to be answered by an open source strategy?</li>
<li>What policies for governance can be instituted to control the adoption of open source?</li>
<li>What new commercial services can help manage the risks of open source?</li>
<li>Do differences in open source licenses matter?</li>
<li>How will using open source transform an IT department?</li>
</ul>
Praise for Open Source for the Enterprise:"Open Source has become a strategic business issue; decisions on how andwhere to choose to use Open Source now have a major impact on theoverall direction of IT abilities to support the business both withcapabilities and by controlling costs. This is a new game and onegenerally not covered in existing books on Open Source which continue toassume that the readers are 'deep dive' technologists, Open Source for the Enterprise provides everyone from business managers to technologistswith the balanced view that has been missing. Well worth the time toread, and also worth encouraging others in your enterprise to read as well." ----Andy Mulholland - Global CTO Capgemini
"Open Source for the Enterprise is required reading for anyone workingwith or looking to adopt open source technologies in a corporateenvironment. Its practical, no-BS approach will make sure you're armedwith the information you need to deploy applications successfully (aswell as helping you know when to say "no"). If you're trying to sell opensource to management, this book will give you the ammunition you need.If you're a manager trying to drive down cost using open source, thisbook will tell you what questions to ask your staff. In short, it's aclear, concise explanation of how to successfully leverage open sourcewithout making the big mistakes that can get you fired." ----Kevin Bedell - founding editor of LinuxWorld Magazine

Guliani, Gautam

Information Technology professionals can use this book to move beyond the excitement of web services and service oriented architecture (Soa) and begin the process of finding actionable ideas to innovate and create business value. In Enterprise Soa: Designing It for Business Innovation, Sap's blueprint for putting Soa to work is analyzed from top to bottom. In addition to design, development, and architecture, vital contextual issues such as governance, security, change management, and culture are also explored. This comprehensive perspective reduces risk as It departments implement Esa, a sound, flexible architecture for adapting business processes in response to changing market conditions. This book answers the following questions: What forces created the need for Enterprise Services Architecture? How does Esa enable business process innovation? How is model-driven development used at all levels of design, configuration, and deployment? How do all the layers of technology that support Esa work together? How will composite applications extend business process automation? How does Esa create new models for It governance? How can companies manage disruptive change? How can enterprise services be discovered and designed? How will the process of adapting applications be simplified? Based on extensive research with experts from the German software company Sap, this definitive book is ideal for architects, developers, and other It professionals who want to understand the technology and business relevance of Esa in a detailed way-especially those who want to move on the technology now, rather than in the next year or two.

In March 2006, SAP Research convened a daylong meeting of several dozen thinkers and entrepreneurs in Darmstadt, Germany to discuss the future of information and communication technologies (ICT). The first annual International Research Forum was an earnest effort to grapple with the challenges and opportunities posed by these technologies. The forum's findings-and the accompanying conversation that was by turns provocative, erudite, and even dizzying-have been captured between these covers. International Research Forum 2006 explores how Web 2.0 and Real World Awareness technologies point to a fundamentally different model of ICT, the security challenges these technologies pose, and whether they can be a lever for growth on a national or even global scale.

In May, 2008, top researchers from around the world people gathered near Potsdam, Germany for the International Research Forum sponsored by SAP Research. For two days, these thinkers from business, academia and government examined a topic that will increasingly become part of our vocabulary: the Internet of Services. The discussion illuminated how the Internet of Services will change enterprise computing. It will help businesses leverage core strengths, find partners in new business networks, collaborate and tap new global markets. Software as a service, cloud computing and other trends are democratizing innovation as never before. The infrastructure barriers to doing business in the Internet of Services are falling away. Yet, as this book shows, this new world also poses challenges different from anything we have seen before.. International Research Forum 2008 captures these insights and begins to answer the questions raised at the gathering. This book will cover: • How the web based service industry is revolutionizing how services are provided over the Internet and allowing customers to choose from a growing menu of offerings. • How the emergence of cloud computing allows companies to outsource basic computing needs and purchase information technology as a service and reduces significant barriers to entry and innovation. • How we can begin to understand the mystery of what makes a "killer app" and identify factors that increase the likelihood of successful innovation. • How semantic service discovery can help customers find the most appropriate services in a vast ocean of potential offerings. These trends take us to the frontiers of business technology. International Research Forum 2008 explains how the technology, practice and pace of business are evolving rapidly. In some cases, this book answers questions about the future. In others, we can only pose questions and offer partial answers because of the difficulty of predicting the future. In either case, the reader will come away better prepared to meet whatever challenges the future brings.
