web services

Overview Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has the potential to vastly improve IT's efficiency. But to implement one at an organization, one needs more than just technical know-how: one has to be skilled in management as well.

The paper now speaks of enterprise architecture and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) that are independent from IT implementation. With this change, the paper also needs to adapt the way one structures businesses and IT landscape, define and develop architectures like SOA, and run enterprise-focused client engagements.
