erp4it’s Charles Betz, Making Shoes, Making Sense of IT
“Are you puzzled over how the broad ITIL vision for Change Management fits into the reality of your current processes? And how it relates to Enterprise Architecture and Portfolio Management?” Then perhaps you should check out Betz’s new book Architecture and Patterns for IT Service Management, Resource Planning, and Governance: Making Shoes for the Cobbler’s Children.
Dr ITIL: CMDB: A Long Road to ITIL’s Return-On-Investment?
“A key concept of ITIL’s best practice for IT Service Management is obviously to focus on Services, from the business’ perspective (read business process). So this means that Citrix, Web front-end infrastructures, and even SAP are not technically services, but segments of end-to-end services that make sense to IT (not IT’s customer). Supply chain, logistics, sales accounting, might be more likely to be considered services from the business perspective.”
IEEE Distributed Systems Online: Advanced Message Queuing Protocol
“XMPP, as its name implies, is about presence. People use it primarily for instant messaging. AMQP, on the other hand, is about enterprise messaging. As explained earlier, enterprise messaging applications often require high levels of performance, throughput, scalability, and reliability. XMPP/Jabber is simply not intended for use under the extreme operating conditions that AMQP is designed to handle.”
Stefan Tilkov’s Random Stuff: SOAP vs. POX vs. REST
“So, we’ve got another of those REST-vs.-SOAP debates again … or, to be more exact, a SOAP-vs.-POX debate that has somehow turned into REST-vs.-SOAP. Whatever.”
ComputerWorld: Lost in translation: How requirements management tools can bridge the communications gap
“Not only do these tools allow for real-time collaboration, but they’re also becoming increasingly instrumental in producing better-quality applications, thanks to integration with software configuration management, change management, quality assurance and testing tools.”
