Every creator of enterprise software has the same goal: to produce the most effective applications in the least time. And every one of those creators knows that exploiting the services available in their environment is a key part of achieving that goal. As new innovations arise, application developers flock to them, creating new paradigms for software development.
There is no better example of this phenomenon than the tremendous popularity of Microsoft® component services. These services - the Component Object Model (COM) and Distributed COM, Microsoft Transaction Server, Microsoft Internet Information Server, and Microsoft Message Queue services in Windows NT® Server - focus on building better enterprise applications.
