Presentation
Addressing Enterprise Business Needs through SOA and TOGAF
Many large organizations have recognized the value of SOA and they are adopting the SOA approach in their organizations. Among the values that SOA provides are reducing integration time, increasing asset re-use, increasing business agility, and reduction of business risk. Realization of these values of SOA requires a change in the way we normally architect, design and develop various solutions.

SOA is an architecture style and proper implementation of SOA requires a framework that assists in defining processes to link various stakeholders and deliverables. SOA also requires proper governance and management of the deliverables. TOGAF can fulfill these requirements and assist in managed SOA delivery.

This presentation will bring two important industry best practices (i.e. TOGAF and SOA) together to help us leverage the strength of both TOGAF and SOA approaches to address enterprise business needs.
