商品描述

A service-oriented architecture is fundamental to many new IT applications, from web development to social software and cloud computing. The same principles can be applied to every aspect of the service-oriented enterprise - not just in IT. In this book, you'll explore how an enterprise architecture and viable services can link together to create a simpler yet far more powerful view of the enterprise, as a dynamic, unified whole.

You can use the ideas, principles and methods described here in business transformation, workflow mapping, system design and much else besides, in every type of enterprise - including those in which there may be little or no IT at all. Step by step, you'll walk through the basics of service-oriented architectures, the four key categories of services and how they connect, and how all of this comes together in real-world service design, implementation and operations.

From this, you'll discover how to identify and describe the different types of services that you need for your enterprise, and how to distinguish between the services that you can safely outsource, versus those that you do need to keep in-house. By the end of this book, you'll learn how to construct function models and service models of your enterprise as a base for service-mapping, and how to pinpoint and map the information flows you need for service-management and service-performance, to keep everything on-track to purpose.

What You'll Learn

  • See how an enterprise architecture can work as a literal architecture
  • Understand Stafford Beer's "Viable System Model" and adapt it as a robust model
  • Study how a Viable Services Model provides a template for service design that covers functionals, non-functionals and operational governance for services

Who This Book Is For

Enterprise architects, Business architects, Service designers, Workflow designers

服務導向架構是許多新的資訊科技應用的基礎,從網頁開發到社交軟體和雲端運算。這些原則不僅適用於資訊科技領域,還可以應用於企業的各個方面。在這本書中,您將探索企業架構和可行的服務如何結合在一起,以創造一個更簡單但更強大的企業視圖,作為一個動態統一的整體。

您可以在業務轉型、工作流程映射、系統設計等各種企業中使用這裡描述的思想、原則和方法,包括那些可能幾乎沒有資訊科技的企業。逐步進行,您將了解服務導向架構的基礎知識、四個關鍵服務類別及其連接方式,以及所有這些如何在實際的服務設計、實施和運營中結合在一起。

從中,您將學習如何識別和描述您企業所需的不同類型的服務,以及如何區分那些可以安全外包的服務和那些需要內部保留的服務。通過本書的學習,您將學會如何構建企業的功能模型和服務模型,作為服務映射的基礎,以及如何準確定位和映射您需要的服務管理和服務性能的資訊流,以確保一切都按照目標順利進行。
