Web Services, Service-Oriented Architectures, and Cloud Computing: The Savvy Manager's Guide ( Second Edition )
by Douglas K Barry with David Dick
This is a guide for the savvy manager who wants to capitalize on the wave of change that is occurring with Web Services, service-oriented architecture, and—more recently—Cloud Computing. The changes wrought by these technologies will require both a basic grasp of the technologies and an effective way to deal with how these changes will affect the people who build and use the systems in our organizations. This book covers both issues. Managers at all levels of all organizations must be aware of both the changes that we are now seeing and ways to deal with issues created by those changes.

Frequently Asked Questions about OpenTravel
Who uses the opentravel alliance specification.
The OpenTravel Alliance – and its founders and member organizations – created and maintain the OpenTravel Specification for use across the entirety of the travel vertical. Organizations are free to use OpenTravel Messaging and there is no cost to download or implement. Leveraged by the travel industry since 1999, OpenTravel Mesaging is in use by hundreds of hotel, airline, cruise, car rental and ground transportation brands around the globe.
Why is the OpenTravel Alliance valuable?
OpenTravel provides a framework where all companies in the electronic distribution supply chain can work together toward the common goal of creating an accepted structure for electronic transmissions using XML messaging. This enables suppliers and distributors to speak the same interoperability language, trading partner to trading partner. Partners and competitors have a forum to create, adopt and evolve open-standards, learn best practices, and develope new business opportunities.
Why are open standards important?
No travel company wants to create new schema each time it has to electronically connect with a new trading partner, so messages created in using an open and inclusive framework result in a specification that can work for the entire industry. The zero-cost model spurs adoption of the schema, which leads to widespread implementation and constant improvement and enhancements to the specification. The resulting specification maturity spurs further adoption, providing richer interoperability between partners and a better traveler experience.
How is OpenTravel structured?
For an in-depth description of how the OpenTravel board of directors, committees, work groups and project teams work together to develop specification, click here. Through project membership, OpenTravel supporters contribute to project workgroups by applying domain-specific expertise to build and evolve the specification.
