SOA Governance - Applying Governance to Ensure the Long-term Benefits of SOA

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is becoming widely deployed as a means of constructing an agile IT environment that can keep up with the accelerating rate of change demanded by the business world. It supports several higher-level initiatives such as Business Process Management and a number of upcoming forms of Web 2.0 collaboration. As such, it has (or should have) high business visibility, and should be seen as a collaborative business and IT issue rather than just another IT platform. In order to fully exploit the potential of SOA and avoid it falling into disrepair over years of iterative deployments, governance of the environment needs to be implemented early with the understanding and endorsement of business stakeholders as well as IT executives. - SOA Governance Architect - THE SOA NETWORK << MORE >>
