Nicolai Josuttis

Nicolai Josuttis is an independent system architect, technical manager, author, and consultant. He designs mid-sized and large software systems for the telecommunication, traffic, finance, and manufacturing industries. He is well known both in the programming community and to attendees at various conferences because he not only speaks and writes with authority (being the (co-)author of the world-wide best-sellers The C++ Standard Library and C++ Templates) but is also an innovative presenter having talked at various conferences and events.

Being an expert of large distributed systems, during the past years he became an expert of SOA. As a team lead for the realization of a SOA landscape at an international mobile phone company, he knows the difference between theory and practice. Today this SOA landscape connects more than 30 distributed heterogeneous systems using over 300 services in production (each day millions of services are called). In addition, he consults different SOA projects in different countries and gives SOA tutorials both as public and in-house trainings. This book will contain the essence of all this experience.

With his partner, Jutta Eckstein, he founded IT-communication, knowing that the real reason for large project failure is miscommunication and not technology. With Jutta Eckstein, the world-wide expert of agile system development in large projects, and Nicolai Josuttis, you have a combination of two exceptional experts that help to bring technical aspects of large systems in sync with organizational contexts and processes so that critical IT projects become successful.
