Product Description

Achieve Breakthrough Business Flexibility and Agility by Integrating SOA and BPM

Thousands of enterprises have adopted Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based on its promise to help them respond more rapidly to changing business requirements by composing new solutions from existing business services. To deliver on this promise, however, companies need to integrate solid but flexible Business Process Management (BPM) plans into their SOA initiatives. Dynamic SOA and BPM offers a pragmatic, efficient approach for doing so. Top IBM® SOA architect Marc Fiammante takes you step-by-step through combining BPM and SOA, and using them together to build a more flexible, dynamic enterprise. Throughout the book, he emphasizes hands-on solutions based on his experience supporting dozens of enterprise SOA implementations. Practical from start to finish, Dynamic SOA and BPM squarely addresses two of the most critical challenges today’s IT executives, architects, and analysts face: implementing BPM as effectively as possible and deriving more value from their SOA investments.

Coverage Includes

  • Moving from simplified integration to dynamic processes: realizing the full business value of services
  • Streamlining enterprise architecture to accelerate business and IT alignment
  • Implementing dynamic business processes based on small, flexible modules that can be quickly modeled, tested, delivered, and improved
  • Planning for services and information variability to limit the impact of change on processes and other consumers of services
  • Providing an integration layer between consumers and providers that addresses issues classical Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) approaches cannot solve alone
  • Tooling and practices for the development, management, and monitoring of the complete SOA/BPM life cycle



Customer Reviews:
5 out of 5 stars Really helps understand the issues *& approaches   January 18, 2010
S. Carrato (Connecticut,USA)
I'm an architect (Open Group Distinguished IT Architect, in fact) who has been working on SOA for years. I also co-chair The Open Group's SOA Work Group. Marc takes on tough topics in this book and it's the 1st such book which really provides concrete guidance on issues like how to architect a dynamic solution. Most other discussions talk about the fact that's desirable but leave you without any specific steps to take.

This is NOT a simple topic but it's an important one. I recommend this book for any architect who needs to create designs which support dynamic solutions.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent Book. Highly recommended   February 16, 2010
Samuel Antoun (Cleveland, OH USA)
Excellent Book. Highly recommended. Precise and to the point. Articulates the concepts of process variability and modularity through the Creation of modular process modules being assembled dynamically by policies and being internally data driven.


5 out of 5 stars A key pick for any technical computer business library   October 13, 2009
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
1 out of 3 found this review helpful

DYNAMIC SOA AND BPM: BEST PRACTICES FOR BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT AND SOA AGILITY tells how to integrate SOA and BPM for maximum business flexibility and comes from an IBM SOA architect who offers a step-by-step tutorial on combining the two. From moving from simplified integration to a dynamic process to planning for services and providing an integration layer, this is a key pick for any technical computer business library.

Although the author obviously has plenty of experience and knowledge, it isn't relayed to the reader. Through paragraph after paragraph, I feel bludgeoned with words that don't seems to say much. Things that can be said very simply are obscured by the puffed-up language. The first chapter seems to assume that you're already doing extensive BPM in your enterprise.

In all, I can't make it through all the words to find the nuggets - and I'm an enterprise architect for a large organization.

BTW, the diagrams will be barely readable on a Kindle.
