Challenges in Governance for SOA Adoption

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) adoption is becoming a mainstream program in many large enterprises. The main governance challenges faced by enterprises adopting SOA are obtaining a formal buy-in from business sponsors and users, aggregating services across multiple channels, and user acceptance for the "to-be" services model across multiple channels.
