Enterprise Architecture – Needing Governance and Compliance

It’s for leaders who never want to be known as idea killers:
Why Software Product Delivey is not Identical to a Car Delivery?
A well written SoW (Statement of Work) clearly lists down the acceptance criteria, which when met would constitute acceptance of the delivery by the client.

He also disliked the Module pattern's requirement of having to switch to object literal notation for the things he wished to make public"
ESB Persists As Application Integration Tool
ESB has entered yet another transitional phase. Jason Bloomberg, president of ZapThink, a Dovel Technologies company, says there's a lot of noise in the market for and against ESBs.
