PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - October 23, 2009) - The SOA Manifesto will be presented today at
the 2nd International SOA Symposium in Rotterdam. TIBCO's (NASDAQ : TIBX )
Paul Brown and a collection of industry leaders have created The SOA
Manifesto, to provide solid and experienced guidance to aid enterprises in
achieving the full potential value from their SOA initiatives. The
Manifesto articulates the ambition of SOA itself, provides value statements
to guide difficult decisions, and enumerates the core principles upon which
SOA is based.
Despite the fact that SOA has been around for at least a decade in one form
or another, there is a surprising amount of confusion about what SOA is and
how enterprises can benefit from it. In particular, SOA is often viewed as
purely a technical issue when, in fact, its purpose is to improve the
enterprise's ability to achieve its business goals and is the foundational
path to Cloud computing. The Manifesto was created to bring clarity and
understanding to this situation, to distill the essence of the SOA concept
and its role in facilitating the enterprise's pursuit of its business goals
as a means of bringing clarity to what is, today, an often muddy situation.
The members of the team developing the manifesto collaborated closely in
developing the Manifesto. Despite the diversity of backgrounds, there was a
refreshing unanimity in identifying the ambitions, values, and principles
of SOA. The team worked hard to develop wording to concisely capture the
essence of the points, with pretty much all participants contributing in
equal measure.
