TUTORIAL: SOA Without Pain Using TOGAF The Message : Delivering Business Strategy using SOA style of Enterprise Architecture
Enterprise Architecture and SOA are two terms that are frequently used interchangeably. This dichotomy has caused confusion and prevented many organizations from making any real headway with either SOA or EA. As a result, the real benefits of these approaches appear to have been lost. The purpose of this workshop is to define a process whereby the SOA style of Architecture, in conjunction with TOGAF, could be used to develop an Enterprise Architecture Roadmap, thereby defining a pragmatic way forward for a total business value realization from a SOA based strategy. This workshop is a combination of several Real-Life SOA projects and will highlight following subjects:·
- Overview of TOGAF and the Business Promise of SOA·
- Workshop:
- Definition of Business Opportunity to which SOA style of EA could be used
- TOGAF Methods to develop EA for a SOA Project
- Define EA Deliverable
- Develop Enterprise Architecture Vision for the Project
Enterprise Architects Can Be Developed
The Message : Enterprise Architects can be developed.
Many research and consulting consortiums have struggled to create a precise definition of
Enterprise Architecture (EA). Until you can define EA, how can you define the responsibilities of or the skills required of an Enterprise Architect let alone how to grow these professionals.
Instead of making yet one more attempt to capture the definition of these terms, in this presentation, I will explore what business values should be expected of an Enterprise Architect and how to develop professionals with the necessary skills for this role.
This presentation is a synthesis of three case studies designed to explore the following key questions:
- What is an Enterprise Architect RESPONSIBLE for?
- ·What are the required skills of an Enterprise Architect?
- What other professions have parallel skills and how are these professionals developed?
- Can the lessons from these other professions be applied to the development of an Enterprise Architect?
- ·What is The Open Group doing to develop EAs?
- What can you, the member organizations do?
