Embedded SOA Management Solutions

A Supplement To "The Forrester Wave™: Standalone SOA And Web Services Management Solutions, Q4 2007"

by Randy Heffner

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

More to the point, as your SOA strategy and platform are evolving, you may not yet require — or even know the best way to use — the full range of SOA management features. As they evaluate standalone SOA management, enterprise architects should understand and evaluate the embedded SOA management solution that they may already own, seven of which are highlighted here.
