About SOA Best Practices Digest
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has become a staple for many enterprises and even entire industries. New initiatives such as enterprise mashups, Software As A Service (SAAS), and Cloud Computing, rely upon a solid architecture that is service oriented. With the increasing dependence of IT upon service oriented solutions, it is imperative that best practices and patterns for success are clearly identified and effectively communicated. The SOA Best Practices Digest aims to provide this critical insight into proper adoption, design, and governance of SOA.
