SOA: Building the Roadmap
Published 13th Apr 2009 | Source - Infrastructure | Pages -While business agility has become a top competitive goal for many organizations, information locked away inside monolithic application silos has proven a stubborn obstacle. By now, most IT organizations have become aware of the potential of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to pierce through those silos.
They are already cognizant that today's SOA implementations rely upon standards that promote use and reuse of information assets and business processes that already exist across the organization, and that of business partners. However, while many IT organizations have started on the road to SOA, many of them are still struggling to answer the question on how to build the roadmap that is right for their enterprise.
Selecting the proper path starts with identifying where the key business pain points reside. It can involve asking questions such as:
1.Is information locked away on legacy systems that are difficult to
access?
2. Does your organization require a common view of data across multiple sources that may exist across different relational and legacy databases?
3. Does it require better visibility of key performance indicators?
4. Does your organization need to optimize business processes? Could your organization benefit from the ability to reuse valuable process assets?
