Deploying an SOA? — How do you make it REALLY work for you?
Today's real-time enterprises must be agile, constantly identifying and responding to new business challenges and customer requirements. Ever-shorter business cycles demand increased flexibility from IT and data analysis teams, who must minimize the time taken to produce necessary data and roll out new applications to support the business.
