Enabling the Service-Oriented Enterprise
Overview: Many organizations have initiated SOA pilot projects or programs, and most will struggle with getting SOA to live up to its potential to deliver value and agility to their enterprise. A successful approach goes well beyond the technology and addresses the true barriers to SOA success -- enterprise architecture, organizational change, governance, education, new design approaches, and transition issues. Discover proven strategies and techniques for implementing SOA, based on engagements by Cutter Senior Consultants with major enterprises worldwide, that you can bring to your organization. We start with a set of core concepts for SOA and then build on them to develop the major components of a successful strategy. These include the business implications of SOA, the required processes and planning, how SOA affects organizational structure, rollout strategies, and how to demonstrate its value.
