The Agile Architecture Revolution

Beschreibung

"So, if business agility is good, how can IT achieve it? The current thinking is that we need to change our approach to design and development and move to newer methods and approaches around software architecture. The right answer is that we need to change what we build, not how we build it. This book describes a true revolution, a different way of thinking about how we build and leverage software." -From the Foreword by David S. Linthicum, Cloud Computing and SOA Thought Leader, Author, Blogger, and Consultant How can your business get what it really wants and needs from IT? How can your business aim to survive, even in environments of unpredictable change? The answer is business agility. A revolution in how we think about architecture, about software development, about IT supporting the business, and in how we think about leveraging new platforms such as cloud computing, The Agile Architecture Revolution reinvents Enterprise Architecture as you know it to support continuous business transformation. Laying out a multidimensional vision for achieving business agility through agile architectures, author Jason Bloomberg reveals how your business can-and indeed, must-build a system that can change its behavior and data semantics on-demand, in support of your changing business. Both visionary and realistic, The Agile Architecture Revolution looks at the convergence of concepts that have the power to change the way we think about software, and finally bring IT back to a place of productivity and value.
