A successful SOA initiative requires efficient, lightweight governance structure that crosses individual department’s boundaries. It requires a holistic view to organization’s business and willingness to find the right balance between short and long term goals. Proper initiative governance can save a lot of time and money and ultimately make a difference between success and failure. - Analysis of business process and IT infrastructure
SOA is driven by business needs. None of technical decisions should be made before there is a clear understanding of business needs. But SOA requires new approach to business analysis, it’s a search for services that can be reused across organization, it’s an attempt to describe organization’s business and IT relationships it terms of services definitions. Shore business analysis group has practical, real-world experience that can help you ensure success of your SOA initiative. - Elaboration of a unique SOA strategy for your organization
