具体描述
"Like so many acronyms in public currency, SOA means many different things to different people. Paul Brown deftly avoids getting caught in the trap of overstating the case for SOA. Instead, he brings the topic skillfully into focus, zeroing in on the concepts that must be understood in order to be effective. Paul's purpose, as I've found so often in his presentations and conversations, is to get to the core of real-world architectural issues that make the difference between success and failure. Paul doesn't sit in an ivory tower pontificating; he gets right down to the critical issues in order to develop effective real-life strategies." --From the Foreword by Jonathan Mack, Senior Technical Architect, Guardian Life Insurance Company "As Paul Brown explains in this fine book, there is more to software development than just writing code. Successful software requires deep thought and strategy. It requires the coordination and marshalling of the resources and intellect of the entire company, both business and IT. I learned much from reading his manuscript and heartily endorse the finished book." --Dr. Michael Blaha, author and industrial consultant "Paul Brown has provided a practical and actionable guide that will illuminate the way for Business and IT Leaders involved in IT strategy, planning, architecture, and project management. A successful adoption of SOA will touch every aspect of the business and change the way IT does business. This book does a good job of describing the organizational challenges and risks and providing suggestions to manage them. It also dives deeply into the architectural techniques that can be employed in order to align the service architecture with the business, thus providing maximum benefit and continued funding for your SOA transformation." --Maja Tibbling, Lead Enterprise Architect, Con-way Enterprise Services " Succeeding with SOA achieves where most books on service-oriented architectures fail. It accurately describes what practitioners are seeing, as well as why, and gives them practical examples through case studies and instruction. Most useful both for those about to take the plunge and those who are already soaking." --Charly Paelinck, Vice President, Development and Architecture, Harrah's Entertainment "This book is a must-read for architects and SOA practitioners. It provides an important foundation for a SOA strategy. Brown emphasizes the importance of aligning services with their business processes, building capabilities using strong enterprise architecture standards, and ensuring an effective governance process. The book promotes the notion of mutual dependency between managing a business using business processes and managing its IT with SOA. By aligning the two paradigms, a business can become more agile, able to adapt to change both quickly and economically. This is the promise of SOA." --Sunny Tara, Director, IT, Enterprise Architecture and Services, Harrah's Entertainment Getting a Desired Business Return on Your Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Investment Today, business processes and information systems are so tightly intertwined that they must be designed together, as parts of a total architecture, to realize enterprise goals. In Succeeding with SOA , Paul Brown shows how service-oriented architectures (SOAs) provide the best structure for such integration: clean, well-defined interfaces between collaborating entities. But even SOAs need to be correctly understood and implemented to avoid common failures. Drawing on decades of experience, Dr. Brown explains what business managers and IT architects absolutely need to know--including critical success factors--to undertake this essential work. Coverage includes Setting clear and reasonable expectations for SOA's benefits Understanding why conventional project management techniques don't scale to today's enterprise-wide projects Defining a living roadmap for developing services based on business priorities Establishing coherent leadership that brings together business executives, IT leaders, and the SOA architecture group Using Total Architecture Synthesis (TAS) to rapidly develop business processes and information systems together Understanding the central role of architecture--and making sure the right architectural decisions get made Whether you're a business or technical leader, this book will help you plan, organize, and execute SOA initiatives that meet or exceed their goals--now, and for years to come.

我原本以为《Succeeding with SOA》会是一本深入探讨SOA技术实现细节的书籍，期待能从中学习到如何构建高效、可维护的SOA解决方案。然而，阅读这本书的过程，却让我对SOA的理解发生了颠覆性的转变。作者并没有在技术层面过分纠结，例如关于SOAP、REST、XML、JSON等具体的协议和格式，也没有详细介绍各种SOA平台工具的功能和使用方法。 这本书的独特之处在于，它将SOA置于更广阔的组织和战略层面来审视。它更像是一本关于如何在组织中成功推行变革、建立协作文化和实现战略目标的管理指南。作者用大量的篇幅，探讨了SOA项目失败的常见原因，很多都与人的因素、流程的设计以及跨部门的沟通协调有关。他强调了清晰的愿景、强有力的领导、以及有效的变革管理在SOA成功实施中的关键作用。这本书帮助我认识到，SOA的成功，很大程度上取决于企业能否建立起一种支持服务导向理念的组织文化和治理机制，而技术本身，只是实现这一目标的一种手段。
评分我一直以为《Succeeding with SOA》会是一本关于如何构建和管理服务导向架构的书籍，然而，它所呈现的内容却远超我的预期。这本书与其说是一本关于技术的工具书，不如说是一本关于“人”和“流程”的战略教科书。作者并没有沉浸在技术细节的海洋里，比如各种SOA设计模式的细枝末节，或者各种技术的性能优化技巧。相反，他将重心放在了SOA项目背后更深层次的商业价值和组织影响上。 书中有相当一部分篇幅深入探讨了如何将SOA与企业的核心业务目标相结合，如何通过SOA来提升业务敏捷性，降低运营成本，甚至创造新的商业模式。作者强调，SOA不是为了技术而技术，而是为了解决实际的商业问题，实现可衡量的商业成果。他用一系列的案例研究，展示了那些成功运用SOA的企业是如何将技术能力转化为竞争优势的。从需求分析、价值评估到ROI（投资回报率）的计算，书中都提供了非常清晰的指导。这对于那些希望说服董事会批准SOA项目，或者希望证明SOA项目价值的IT经理和业务领导者来说，是一份非常有价值的参考。
评分老实说，我买《Succeeding with SOA》这本书，是抱着学习如何构建一个真正可用的SOA系统的目的。我希望里面能有一些关于如何设计松耦合服务、如何实现服务注册和发现、以及如何构建可扩展和高可用性SOA平台的具体技术指南。但当我翻开书页，我发现自己被带入了一个完全不同的领域。这本书与其说是在教我如何“建”SOA，不如说是在教我如何“用”SOA去“赢”。 作者花了大量时间来阐述SOA在提升企业敏捷性、促进业务创新和实现数字化转型方面的潜力。他没有过多地谈论技术架构的实现，而是更多地聚焦于SOA如何帮助企业快速响应市场变化，如何通过服务组合来创造新的产品和服务，以及如何通过SOA来实现IT与业务的高度融合。书中的案例研究，更多的是关注SOA项目如何为企业带来具体的商业效益，例如缩短产品上市时间，降低集成成本，或者提升客户满意度。对于那些希望理解SOA背后商业价值，并将其转化为实际竞争力的商业领袖而言，这本书提供了一个非常独特的视角。
评分这本书的标题是《Succeeding with SOA》，但读完之后，我感觉它更像是一本关于组织变革和战略转型的指南，而SOA（服务导向架构）只是实现这些目标的一个重要工具。作者并没有像一本技术手册那样，深入解析SOA的每一个技术细节，比如如何编写Web服务、如何设计ESB（企业服务总线）的路由规则，或者如何实现SOAP和RESTful API的互操作性。相反，它更多地关注的是在实施SOA过程中，企业会遇到的那些“软性”挑战。 我尤其欣赏作者在处理组织文化和沟通方面所花费的笔墨。书中用了很多篇幅来探讨，为什么很多SOA项目最终会失败，而不仅仅是因为技术上的不足。很多时候，问题出在部门之间的壁垒，出在缺乏跨部门的协作和理解，出在管理层对SOA的战略意义认识不清，或者仅仅是员工对新技术变革的抵触。作者通过大量真实案例，生动地描绘了这些场景，并提出了非常实用的建议，比如如何建立一个跨职能的SOA治理团队，如何通过有效的沟通来争取业务部门的支持，以及如何通过培训和激励机制来培养员工的SOA意识。这些内容，对于那些希望在组织内部推动类似SOA这样的大型变革项目的领导者来说，无疑是金玉良言。
评分当我拿到《Succeeding with SOA》这本书时，我满心期待着能够深入了解SOA的各项技术原理和最佳实践。毕竟，SOA在企业IT架构中扮演着如此重要的角色，我希望能通过这本书来提升自己的技术功底。然而，事实是，这本书并没有把我带入那些复杂的技术细节之中。我没有找到关于如何配置ESB、如何设计SOA治理策略、或者如何进行服务版本管理的详细步骤。 相反，作者更侧重于SOA项目的“战略性”实施。书中大量的篇幅都被用来探讨如何进行SOA的路线图规划，如何评估现有系统的成熟度，以及如何建立一个有效的SOA治理框架。作者用一种非常宏观的视角，审视了SOA项目在企业中的地位，强调了SOA与企业整体战略的协同作用。他反复强调，SOA的成功不仅仅依赖于技术，更依赖于清晰的战略定位和跨部门的紧密合作。对于那些还在犹豫是否要引入SOA，或者正在为SOA项目找寻方向的企业而言，这本书或许能提供一些高屋建瓴的思考。
