You have to admit it’s a compelling topic.Here is the description:“Enterprise Architecture and SOA implementations share a common goal: to create a logical, efficient, flexible and reusable operating environment for the enterprise. What isn’t always clear is how to get there. Two camps have emerged: one is driven broadly from an enterprise architecture perspective and the other focuses on implementing SOA project-by-project. Whichever gets the ball rolling, industry observations suggest that the end result is best when organizations maintain both perspectives. At one end, the EA approach tends to emphasize coordination, strategic alignment, process, transformation, broader scope, and global value delivery. At the other, the SOA crowd emphasizes speed, discipline and a pragmatic rapid delivery philosophy. In between, both care about extensibility, reliability, quality and performance, among other important considerations. Governance, whether called EA, IT or SOA, is the wild card and must be addressed for it all to work.”Show up, support me. 🙂 Software Development
