Service-Orientated Architecture (SOA) is fast becoming the IT software approach of
choice for many major enterprises, and SOA governance is critical to successful SOA
adoption. Find out why in the following white papers.
SOA adoption has become increasingly
important. Organizations see SOA adoption as a way to meet rapidly
changing demands from their customers, partners, and the marketplace. They
understand that SOA can help them realize benefits—like agility, flexibility,
reusability, and cost reduction in development, design, maintenance, and
operations—and they want to align their business and IT organizations
to exploit these benefits.
SOA governance is key to the successful adoption of SOA. A governance model built
and operated to govern the life cycle of services is essential for an SOA to
deliver the benefits that make SOA attractive. The following white papers present a
case for SOA governance, discuss the differences between traditional IT governance
and SOA governance, and explain why a governance model for the governance and
management of the life cycle of services is necessary for SOA success.
