Massive, disruptive change is coming to IT as Software as a Service (SaaS), SOA, mashups, Web 2.0, and cloud computing truly come of age. Now, one of the worldâ€™s leading IT innovators explains what it all meansâ€”coherently, thoroughly, and authoritatively.

Writing for IT executives, architects, and developers alike, world-renowned expert David S. Linthicum explains why the days of managing IT organizations as private fortresses will rapidly disappear as IT inevitably becomes a global community. He demonstrates how to run IT when critical elements of customer, product, and business data and processes extend far beyond the firewallâ€”and how to use all that information to deliver real-time answers about everything from an individual customerâ€™s credit to the location of a specific cargo container.

Cloud Computing and SOA Convergence in Your Enterprise offers a clear-eyed assessment of the challenges associated with this new worldâ€”and offers a step-by-step program for getting there with maximum return on investment and minimum risk. Using multiple examples, Linthicum:
- Reviews the powerful cost, value, and risk-related drivers behind the move to cloud computingâ€”and explains why the shift will accelerate
- Explains the technical underpinnings, supporting technologies, and best-practice methods youâ€™ll need to make the transition
- Helps you objectively assess the promise of SaaS, Web 2.0, and SOA for your organization, quantify value, and make the business case
- Walks you through evaluating your existing IT infrastructure and finding your most cost-effective, safest path to the â€œcloudâ€
- Shows how to choose the right candidate data, services, and processes for your cloud computing initiatives
- Guides you through building disruptive infrastructure and next-generation process platforms
- Helps you bring effective, high-value governance to the clouds
If youâ€™re ready to begin driving real competitive advantage from cloud computing, this book is the start-to-finish roadmap you need to make it happen.
