Enterprises are increasingly seeking new competitive advantages, and are demanding IT provide new applications in record times to meet those demands, and deliver strategic value.
Enterprise architects are therefore turning to a new breed of applications that use and reuse components developed with multiple technologies - including Web Services, J2EE, .NET, and messaging - across a wide range of platforms and systems. These composite applications are more efficient to develop, and deliver faster results to the business, but entail many new challenges such as where to focus development time, how to integrate legacy applications, and how to maximize limited compute resources.
This Enterprise Management Associates white paper will describe this new technology approach; provide an overview of the new challenges involved; investigate solutions to overcome these challenges; and show how these solutions drive business value.
