I just received a new ObjectWatch newsletter by Roger Sessions and it really struck a cord with the Enterprise Application Fabrics Scalability Simplified message that I’ve been evangelizing.

The latest newsletter describes a process coined by Roger called Simple Interactive Partitions (SIP).  The basis of which is a process based on a mathematical model for simplifying enterprise software's architectural complexity.

Within the three SIP whitepapers posted on the ObjectWatch site the Executive Overview outlines the five phases of the SIP process.  The step that really hit home with me was step 3, Partition Simplification which describes the removal of extraneous, redundant, or outsource-able functionality.  Which got me thinking why someone wouldn’t outsource reliability & scalability to the Enterprise Application Fabric?  What’s the engineering cost of developing something that can be found in a packaged, vendor supported solution?  It took us 6 plus years of engineering effort.  Do you have 6 years to do the same?

If your ready to lower the complexity of your enterprise solutions, read the SIP briefing papers, get a copy of Roger Sessions new book Controlling Complexity in Enterprise Architectures when it’s released later this year and give us a call!  Preferably not in that order as we can help you today!

Great process Roger, I look forward for the book!

Until next time...
