Presentation
Practical Approach to SOA Governance and SOA Governance Standards Update
SOA is a business focused approach to IT and enterprise architecture. Solutions based on SOA can draw on multiple sources of functionality, both from within and beyond an enterprise. The experience of many organizations is that an effective governance regime is a critical element in a successful SOA program. It is often the enterprise architecture team and other senior leaders of an IT organization that provide oversight and guidance to an SOA effort and it's governance. Based on customer engagements from IBM's SOA services teams, this session will introduce the key issues in SOA Governance and relate those to the work of the enterprise architect. The session will also include an update on the work that of the SOA Governance team within The Open Group's SOA Working Group.
