Essays on SOA and EAI- A Pocket Guide 
"80% of SOA projects fail to deliver value to the business"???
"It takes 10-15 years to get a SOA transition right"???
"To succeed with SOA you need excellent governance"???
"Purchasing bloated vendor SOA stacks is the key to SOA success"???
Corporate Governance led to IT Governance and have naturally made it to SOA governance. Do we know any other way? Can we draw parallels from the evolution of the internet and internet based systems, or open source systems which have evolved through worldwide collaboration and we cannot get SOA right with just 20-40 systems and teams in controlled office locations perhaps just 5-10 locations?
Can we have a SOA methodology which is agile enough to deliver rapidly on changing business needs instead of an ivory tower architecture? While a SOA is an ecosystem that is expected to deliver Strategic benefits while each system is expected to deliver Tactical benefits, can we deliver both without conflicts?
Is there a methodology that doesn't lead to power politics and doesn't need corporate restructuring? Can I get the best of the SOA Manifesto values, principles and practices and marry them with Agile techniques?
Rincci SOA is a Contrarian Agile Methodology evolved over most of the last decade, it is contrarian because it says (and hopefully shows) that it is not poor governance that causes SOA failures but rather governance itself is a single point of failure and a pessimistic organizational structure that causes SOA to fail. Rincci SOA has been tried at about 100 fortune and other global companies with virtually 100% success rates. Brought to you by Aditya Yadav & Associates. "Essays on SOA And EAI - A Pocket Guide" is the official bible of the Rincci SOA methodology. An easy read, short and succint collection of essays, with practical practices that can be adopted rightaway. Without any vendor speak and being agnostic to any Vendor Stack or Tools.
Most IT divisions approach SOA with a view of technology and as a testbed for experiments. While SOA & EAI is about delivering strategic business value with agility, to changing business needs.
The book covers the basics of SOA & EAI followed by an analysis of the SOA manifesto. We push an arguement against Governance and COE's. The book then builds a feasible model of execution and outlines practices which when in the past practised by Aditya Yadav and Associates virtually have had a 100% success rate.
The book outlines the Rincci SOA/EAI (Contrarian) method. Which delivers exactly what the business needs and avoids ivory tower architectures. It is designed with constant change in mind and enables the soa ecosystem to evolve in distributed co-ordinated fashion. It enables individual systems to deliver tactical goals along with the strategic business goals for the multi-system ecosystem.
