providing you with information, insights, tools and resources to help ensure
your success.
Every other month, we'll deliver to your inbox the kind of content you expect

practice strategies, and expert advice on what to do and what to watch out for.
But this isn't a one-way conversation. This newsletter is part of our newly

Demystifying Security Standards
Making sense of WSS, SAML, and XACML
In the last three years, several standards related to Information Security have been developed, notably Web Services Security (WSS), the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), and the Extensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML). How were they developed? Why are they needed and how are they used? Get a brief overview of these three standards, including how they related to each other and to existing security standards. Future articles will examine each in more detail.

Taking the "Quick Win" Approach to SOA
Swiftly proving value to the business
Adopting SOA can be difficult for both business and IT executives. IT must be able to identify the services infrastructure required to deliver business solutions — and to demonstrate "quick wins" that show value and keep the business side engaged.
Based on the SOA principles of coarse-grained, loosely coupled, and standards-bases services, service-oriented infrastructure enables IT to be proactive. It increases your ability to respond to changing business needs by providing global solutions, reduced application and infrastructure complexity, increased reuse of business services, and service orchestration capabilities. In short, this approach enables IT organizations to meet market challenges by transforming themselves along with the business.

Next-Generation Component Models
What you need to know in one Webinar
As applications become more complex and dynamic, existing programming models face a number of challenges. Find out how service-oriented technology can address:
- The growing need to compose applications of loosely coupled services
- The need for "dynamic" middleware that can adapt to various service-based architectures
- The proliferation and volatility of protocols, particularly in the area of web services
- The reconvergence of synchronous and asynchronous programming, and the need for a unifying framework.
