From Corporate Enterprise to Enterprise as a Service - Sponsored Whitepaper

The world evolves, and so do enterprises. With globalization rising, the world is more dynamic than ever, forcing us to agile thinking, resourcefulness, creativity, fitness to perform, and ethical excellence, in order to survive the inertia crisis that separates us from real progress and perhaps survival. To overcome this inertia crisis, enterprises of the future must be future aware and act and respond appropriately.

Being future-aware means being change-aware. The answer to inertia and the way to cope with change is Service Orientation. Its ultimate expression is the Enterprise as a Service.

This white paper explains the relation between Service Orientation and the meaning and value of change. It further explains how the concept relates to different enterprise types and to the formation of different types of Service- Oriented Enterprise Architecture.

It also gives some practical recommendations on how to implement the Service Orientation vision and Service-Oriented Architecture.
