This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) policy management is an important and emerging subset of SOA strategy, SOA governance, and SOA platform planning. Because SOA policy features and functions are arising within multiple types of products, many different vendors are aiming to claim a piece of the pie — and the pie slices vary greatly in size and flavor. Architects building a strategy for SOA policy should start with a general understanding of how and how broadly candidate vendors and products — including services vendors — might play in their architecture and approach to SOA policy. The most important consideration for architects making SOA policy vendor and product choices is to integrate such decisions into their SOA platform strategy and plans.
