BPM and SOA: SOA and the Cloud
Not wishing to be left out of the seemingly omnipresent discussions of the Cloud, Mike Rosen devotes this month`s Column to a discussion of the relationship between SOA and the Cloud. Since the Cloud is about making IT resources available as services and SOA is about creating solutions with service building blocks, the relationship may seem obvious. Mike takes a more critical look and provides three diagrams that succinctly illustrate the connection between the two technologies.
