Enterprise Information Management - Fundamental to Quicker SOA Playback
As organizations begin SOA adoption, lured by the business and IT benefits promised by SOA, they soon realize the enormous challenge they have taken on. Being under constant cost and time pressure to deliver, they usually adopt the mantra of incremental approach, where the initial focus is on getting quick hits by putting up a web service facade to underlying components and incrementally exposing capabilities as services on an as needed basis. As they progress in SOA adoption, they realize some cost savings primarily through service reuse, but soon find it very challenging to make significant progress due to perceived culture impacting changes that need to be made in the approach to development, thereby taking a longer time to realize the promised value from SOA.

This presentation will demonstrate how enterprises with an information management strategy in place are better positioned to realize a quicker payback from their investment in SOA. The speaker will provide a roadmap with just the right amount of governance to ensure underlying data is current and accurate, and exposed with the right set of rules as information services for being assembled in applications. Such an approach has significantly lower cultural impacts, and is perceived as doing IT the right way for delivering value to the business and customer. This approach enables enterprises to effectively realize SOA goals much faster.
