Keynote Address — Service orientation and management: essential concerns for effective enterprise architecture
10:45 – 11:15, Monday, July 18, 2005
As the practice of IT matures, we are seeing increased emphasis on managing the business of IT to provide cost effective, reliable, secure, and flexible service. IT is expected to provide timely and affordable support for innovation, necessitating a corresponding reduction of spending on maintenance and operations. To survive, IT practitioners must:

  • Focus on the service as the fundamental unit of IT systems within and across organizational boundaries
  • Manage services across their lifecycle (planning and architecture, sourcing, configuration and deployment, operation, and retirement) using a common, standards-based management framework
  • Use industry operational reference models, enterprise architecture, and IT governance to align business and IT systems
  • Use service modeling to automate service management and dynamic reconfiguration to meet SLAs and optimize business impact
  • Address cross-service management concerns (financial, security, quality, relationship)
  • Adopt utility computing for just-in-time provisioning of shared services, resource virtualization, and pay-for-use efficiency
