BOOK ON SOA FROM SAP
"Enterprise Services for Financial Services: Taking SOA to the Next Level," a new book from Germany-based SAP AG, reveals the growing importance that service-oriented architecture (SOA) and enterprise services will play in banking and insurance organizations. The book, which SAP hopes will help C-level technology execs understand and leverage SOA and enterprise services, outlines a road map for financial services companies that face shifts in customer behavior, consolidation and increasing regulatory requirements. The book also offers examples of how to use SOA standards to help the business, and insight on internal and external market challenges from banking and insurance executives and industry analysts.
