Readers will learn how to avoid the most common pitfalls of SOA implementations including designing for reuse and error handling, understanding registry governance over services lifecycle, evaluating different ESBs and their impact on the SOA infrastructure, managing effective run-time governance, positively influencing the organizational impacts of multiple technology teams creating different modules/components that must work together, training internal SOA teams for optimal effectiveness, and setting and measuring progress during every stage of the SOA implementation.
