NEWBURYPORT, MA--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 30, 2008 -- AgilePath Corporation, the industry's leading service-oriented architecture (SOA) consulting firm, today announced a Web site promotion for free copies of AgilePath CEO's new SOA book -- "SOA Governance for the Services Driven Enterprise" (2008), published by John Wiley & Sons. This is the industry's first book dedicated to enterprise SOA governance, and it reflects AgilePath's industry leading SOA governance solutions and capabilities. This book builds on the governance foundation established in Marks' last SOA book, "SOA: A Planning and Implementation Guide for Business and Technology" (Marks and Bell, 2006).

"This book represents the state of the art for enterprise SOA governance," stated AgilePath CEO Eric A. Marks and author of the book. "AgilePath is pleased to once again lead the SOA industry forward with proven approaches to solving SOA challenges. This book is the industry's first SOA governance book, and that is no surprise. SOA governance is a challenging issue, and few SOA practitioners truly understand the subject's richness, complexity and depth. This book will provide much-needed guidance for the many facets of enterprise SOA governance."

AgilePath is promoting the release of "SOA Governance for the Services Driven Enterprise" with a Web site raffle featuring a bi-weekly drawing from those who register at www.agile-path.com. In addition, AgilePath is also offering SOA governance educational modules and governance workshops that feature the concepts from this groundbreaking book. AgilePath also has released a new whitepaper entitled "Next Generation SOA Governance," which offers a high-level overview of Marks' new book.

"'SOA Governance for the Services Driven Enterprise' fills a critical gap in the SOA industry," stated CEO Eric Marks. "Delivering the industry's first SOA Governance book exemplifies AgilePath's innovative solutions and capabilities. We will continue to advance the cause of enterprise SOA governance through our vendor neutral services and solutions."
