SOA Governance is a new book from Packt that teaches users to improve a company's efficiency and productivity using service-oriented architecture governance. Written by SOA Consortium member, Todd Biske, this book acts as a detailed guide to choose the right people, processes, and policies to achieve successful SOA Governance within a company.

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) governance is a concept used for activities related to exercising control over services in an SOA. It is the process of establishing a desired outcome for one's efforts, and then leveraging people, policies, and processes to make that outcome a reality.

Enterprise architects will learn to leverage SOA management and SOA Registry/Repository tools in their governance efforts and understand the difference between run-time and design-time SOA governance. They will also learn to define governance processes that will work in the culture of an organization and determine the people in an organization that must be involved in the governance efforts.

This book will teach users to implement SOA governance in Advasco, a fictitious financial corporation. They will also learn about the role that SOA Governance played in the situations that arose for the company through the successful application of people, policies and processes. Through this, users will be able to understand exactly what is involved in the process of SOA governance and be able to avoid the pitfalls that Advasco encountered along the way.

Technical leaders, enterprise architects, and senior IT managers who wish to implement SOA Governance into their companies to increase productivity will find this book to be of good use. For more information, please visit http://www.packtpub.com/soa-governance/book
