SOA and Business Process Management
Courtesy of: Eric Newcomer and Greg Lomow, co-authors of "Understanding SOA with Web Services"
The convergence of BPM, SOA, Web services, and XML promises to significantly improve corporate agility, reduce time-to-market for new products and services, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency of IT systems. Chapter 6 from "Understanding SOA with Web Services" explores each of these technologies in depth and describes the pros and cons of the implementation of each. The authors also do a compare and contrast between orchestration and business process management including an examination of where BPEL falls short for BPM solutions.
