Part I. SOA and Business Process Management Concepts

Part I introduces the major concepts of service, service-oriented architecture (SOA), and business process management (BPM). This part of the book describes how to develop and implement SOA and BPM solutions using Web services:

Addressing the main reasons for investing in an SOA, including rapid integration, multi-channel access, and automated business process management.
Focusing on the business and technical benefits of services and service orientation that underpin IT agility.
Defining and detailing the features and capabilities of the Web services platform upon which SOA, BPM, and other solutions are built.
Introducing Web services orchestration and choreography, including examples of the WS-BPEL ...
