Balancing Act: Choosing a SOA Platform that Addresses Near-Term ROI or Long-Term Strategy
Overview
The advantages of implementing SOA are clear but in order to successfully adopt SOA, several factors should be considered. Before deciding on a SOA platform, companies should clearly define their business and IT objectives to ensure the proposed solution addresses their needs. There needs to be a focus on business processes in addition to integration needs and a balance between short term and long term objectives.
In analyzing both successful and unsuccessful implementations, it's been determined that there are several key capabilities that help to ensure a balanced, successful implementation. They include the following:
- Open and agnostic to use best of breed technologies
- Scalable so you can start fast and grow to enterprise complexity when needed
- Ability to solve complex business processes that involve human workflow
- Integrates with an exception management capability as the use of loosely coupled services tends to create additional exceptions
- Contains monitoring and governance capabilities
