Dayton , Ohio , June 12, 2007 – Sogeti today announced the publication of a new book, SOA for Profit: A Manager’s Guide to Success with Service Oriented Architecture . Written by an international team of authors, SOA for Profit features practical ways organizations can use Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to solve business challenges and achieve bottom line results. The book uses real world examples based on Sogeti’s experiences with real companies and real projects.

SOA for Profit addresses the escalating demand for SOA as the IT architecture of choice, and provides a connection between business and IT professionals pursuing SOA solutions. Written in easy-to-understand language, the book provides a simple definition of SOA (“seven easy concepts of SOA”) and tips on getting started, creating a simple roadmap and implementing SOA successfully. |

SOA for Profit provides organizations with a practical action plan for SOA initiatives – one that is designed to help them achieve optimal business results. The Sogeti authors emphasize the importance of governance and architecture and demonstrate that a broad vision of SOA is essential for deriving benefits from it. SOA for Profit can help organizations bridge the gap between business and IT by providing tools and a common language that can be used to start a strategic dialog, which is the basis of business driven IT. |

Said Henrik Jacobsson, Lead IT Architect at Shell: “[This book provides] a pragmatic and hands-on contribution to the evaluation of SOA as an architecture approach to create value for the business. The different views and a complete set IT considerations on SOA are supported by real and convincing examples. [It] gives a ready-to-use guide to adopt and implement SOA. Just an excellent source for anyone who wants to gets to the next level of business and IT alignment based on SOA.” |
