"Enterprise Architecture for Integration: Rapid Delivery Methods and Technologies", Third Edition (2015) by Clive Finkelstein is a downloadable and printable PDF eBook of 540 pages with full Bookmark and Table of Contents Navigation. With the rapid pace of change today, the need for transformation from today's inflexible business environment to an agile enterprise that can change direction rapidly has never been greater. Yet the structures, processes and systems that we have today are inflexible: they are incapable of rapid change. This is not only a computer problem. It is also a business problem. What are needed are methods and technologies for rapid business change – with systems that also change in lock-step. This is a How-To-Do-It Book that shows how to resolve these problems. The solution to this business problem uses Enterprise Architecture for Integration, with business-driven rapid delivery methods that enable senior managers, together with their corporate planners; business managers, business experts and IT staff, to work together to achieve business change. These methods use business integration to make the required business change transformations. The methods to achieve this are being successfully applied today by many enterprises throughout the world. Large projects that take years before they deliver any value are no longer acceptable. The databases and systems that are designed and built for tomorrow should be capable of being delivered into production in 3-month increments. This book shows how to do this using the latest methods and technologies. Each chapter is written to cover all relevant concepts so it can be used stand-alone. The methods and technologies in this book promise to transform systems development for 21st Century enterprises into a rapid- delivery discipline. The author, Clive Finkelstein, is a leading authority in both methodologies and technologies – an unusual combination in today’s complex world. In a “How-To-Do-It” style he covers the methods needed for Enterprise Architecture and Business Transformation success using case study examples and exercise problems, along with sample solutions and chapter summaries. In clear, understandable language using many informative diagrams, charts and screenshots he covers the latest Enterprise Integration technologies, along with numerous examples of vendor products and strategies.
