Paul Allen is Principal Web Services Strategist at Computer Associates, and is widely recognized as a thought leader in component-based development (CBD) and the more recent evolution to service orientation. As leader of CA's EMEA Web Services Advisory Practice, he specializes in the areas of business-IT alignment, service oriented architecture, and e-business transition management. Paul's detailed knowledge combines with a uniquely practical understanding of the problems companies face as they begin to develop enterprise e-business systems. His pragmatism stems from 28 years experience in the development of large-scale business systems. He was VP of Methods at Select Software Tools where he was a key player in shaping and implementing their CBD vision in the shape of the Perspective method, before joining Sterling Software (now part of Computer Associates) in April 1999 to lead their CBD practice.
Paul writes frequently on Web services, CBD and e-business and has held the position of editor of Cutter Consortium's Component Development Strategies. He is also a popular speaker at industry conferences worldwide. His co-authored book Component Based Development for Enterprise Systems was one of the first and most practical descriptions of what was involved in building component-based applications. His critically acclaimed last book Realizing e-Business with Components was published by Addison Wesley in October 2000 (see url below). Additionally, Paul works regularly with industry bodies to help review software practices, ensure standardization and develop practical technology migration strategies. |
