Excerpt: Key Organization Shifts Required to Deliver SOA
by Girish Juneja, Blake Dournaee, Joe Natoli, and Steve Birkel

Excerpt Description
IT organizations that are optimized for build-to-order or made-to-order software deployment are ill-equipped to take on the challenges of SOA assemble-to-order production. The key difference lies in their reliance on vertically organized development and sustaining teams that are matched to key business solution domains. Each enterprise solution domain, such as human resources or the supply chain, has captive development resources exclusively focused on delivering solutions to address that vertical domain's needs at nearly all levels of the technology stack. Priorities are set and resources allocated based on the solution most needed at the moment.
