Risks are Significant

Wild West SOA Duplicated SOA Shelfware SOA

• Out-of-Control • Agility down as scale up • Waste of resources

- Complex to manage - Lengthy project turnaround - No benefit
- Difficult to maintain - Complex to manage - Shun away from SOA

• ROI down • ROI down • ROI down

• Time-to-market up
 Wild West SOA Meets EBS
SOA Ecosystem at work
Symptoms
• No visibility to your SOA
portfolio
- What services do you have?
- How many do you have?
- Where are the services?
• Ad-hoc dependencies
• Fuzzy service contracts
- What svc interface & semantics?
- What interaction patterns?
- What security constraints?
- What key performance indicators?
- What service levels?
Examples
• Svc follow initial contracts
- Interface
- MEP
• Lack visibility
- Dependencies: who use the svc?
- Impacts if the services change?
- Services evolve
- Signature change
- Implementation change
• Lack oversight & control
over change process
- Break consumers
- Retroactive fixes
Solutions
• Rationalized process to
define App-agnostic EBS
- Process modeling
- Determine services needed
- Determine service interface & semantics
• Forward & backward
compatibility
- Design-time via CAVS
- Runtime via version-check ESB
- HP conformance management
- Promote reuse & interoperability
• BSR Visibility
- In-context to business processes
• HP lifecycle management
- Lifecycle and approval processes

SOA Governance
Recognized as the leading indicator of successful SOA

“SOA Governance is not optional — it is

imperative. Without it, return on investment will
be low and every SOA project out of pilot
phase will be at risk.”

— Gartner, “Service-Oriented Architecture Craves Governance,” January, 2006

 SOA Partnership
