whitepaper MSDN Webcast: Windows Communication Foundation Top to Bottom (Part 01 of 15): Overview (Level 100)0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is the Microsoft messaging platform for building service-oriented applications. Released with the Windows Vista operating system, and part of the Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.0, WCF unifies the programming model for how components and services communicate: be they distributed or not, accessible beyond firewalls, or available through interoperable interfaces. The attendee of this webcast will learn how WCF is the evolution of Microsoft .NET Remoting, Enterprise Services, Microsoft ASP.NET Web Services (ASMX), and Web Services Enhancements (WSE) in a single technology stack. The presenter introduces WCF as a technology for Service-Orientated Architecture (SOA), discusses the programming model, and provides a short overview of core features.

whitepaper MSDN Webcast: Windows Communication Foundation Top to Bottom (Part 03 of 15): Contract Versioning (Level 200)0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Clients rely on contracts defined by the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) to communicate with services. The WSDL contract describes the operations available at each service endpoint and the format and schema for messages related to each operation, including the schema for complex types exchanged between parties. Making changes to contracts once they have been published is a delicate matter, as that can create compatibility issues with existing clients. The only option is to ensure backward compatibility or expose a new version of the contract for new clients. This webcast focuses on approaches to version tolerance and contract versioning.

whitepaper Service Oriented Architecture: What It Means for the Insurance Market?2007-10-04 AppLabs
  Service Oriented Architecture has received much positive attention and has been deemed the solution to a multitude of technological business problems. However, it seems insurance companies are reticent to fully undertake it. Organizations are implementing isolated SOA projects but few have fully comprehensive strategies in place. SOAs effectively build applications out of existing software services by one program or piece of functionality calling another. These functions may be provided locally, remotely, or via an external system. In an insurance environment, for example, an online claims system may use the services of a CRM system to get the address details and an external government database to get details of vehicle taxation, drivers' licenses or driving convictions.

whitepaper ESB-Oriented Architecture: The Wrong Approach to Adopting SOA2007-09-27 IBM
  An increasingly common request from clients is to complete a project that does not use SOA as a whole, but instead implements only an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) architecture. Such an ESB-oriented architecture is easy to envision, but its success is difficult to measure. What clients requesting such projects don't understand is this: An ESB-oriented architecture doesn't produce business value. A project based on ESB-oriented architecture needs to be made into one based on SOA to help ensure that it successfully delivers business value.
