Development Costs with Object-Relational Mapping Products
The development cost of using RDBMSs with objects is reduced because the object-relational mapping products take care of the object-to-table and table-to-object conversion needed when using RDBMS with objects. Without an object-relational mapping product, this object-to-table and table-to-object conversion would need to be written in addition to the application development. See writing your own mapping layer.

Web Services, Service-Oriented Architectures, and Cloud Computing: The Savvy Manager's Guide (Second Edition)
by Douglas K Barry with David Dick
This is a guide for the savvy manager who wants to capitalize on the wave of change that is occurring with Web Services, service-oriented architecture, and—more recently—Cloud Computing. The changes wrought by these technologies will require both a basic grasp of the technologies and an effective way to deal with how these changes will affect the people who build and use the systems in our organizations. This book covers both issues. Managers at all levels of all organizations must be aware of both the changes that we are now seeing and ways to deal with issues created by those changes.
