Long touted as a
revolutionary technology,
Web services promise to
make IT infrastructures
obsolete. They enable the
free flow of information
across systems, lowering
the cost and complexity
of integration across
entire enterprises.
In July 2002, BEA, IBM,
and Microsoft released a
trio of specifications
designed to support
business transactions
over Web services.
BPEL4WS, WS-Transaction,
and WS-Coordination
together form the bedrock
for reliably

While the vision of
process management is not
new, existing theories
and systems have not been
able to cope with the
reality of business
processes - until now. By
placing business
processes on center
stage, as first class
citizens...
Until now, the options
available for
implementing business
flows in a typical
enterprise-computing
environment were
daunting. IT project
managers had to choose
between complex high-end
EAI/BPM solutions and

In one day, a CIO
receives two dreaded
e-mails from the CEO, who
is acting under board
pressure to change the
company's fortunes. The
first 'asks' for a
revised IT budget
reflecting a 15% cut for
the rest of the year. The
second c...

Web services are rapidly
emerging as the most
practical approach for
integrating a wide array
of customer, vendor, and

services, the real value ...
Having been endorsed by
virtually every
technology vendor on the
planet, Web services are
now evolving from
'feature' to 'fabric.'
They are moving from the
latest buzzword (hot new
feature) to a mature and
accepted technology
(fab...
Companies have been
looking for ways to open,
or expose, key pieces of
their enterprise

Today's economy requires
that businesses take a
pragmatic approach to
managing productivity and
costs. The mandate is to

ambidextrous, makes it
look easy. Of course, I
