Right From the Start: SOA Life Cycle Governance

Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview The transformation to SOA cannot be completed solely by technological means. It is a shift in the enterprise ecosystem, and governance measures can be effective only when they apply across that entire ecosystem, reaching into the life cycle of the services that comprise the SOA. Anything less risks the failure of the SOA. In an ever-changing, increasingly unforgiving business environment, where agility is survival, the repercussions cannot be overstated. The transformation to SOA is a smart move. The smarter move is to guide that transformation, and the subsequent evolution of SOA, through effective governance. That governance can - and should - be iteratively integrated into existing models. This paper presents an overview of strategies and practices for governing the transformation to, and the evolution of, SOA.
