  6. Why SOA Governance matters to the success of SOA “ SOA governance isn’t optional—it’s imperative.Without it, return on investment will be low and every SOA project out of pilot phase will be at risk.” SOA Craves Governance, Gartner, Inc., Paolo Malinverno, January 2006 Realize business benefits of SOA • Business process flexibility • Improved time to market “ SOA has turned the corner in many ways ... issues of governance have risen to the fore, and organizations are finally working through the complexities of SOA quality.” Thinking Outside the SOA Box: ZapThink, Jason Bloomberg, November 2006 Mitigate business risk and gain control • Maintaining quality of service • Ensuring consistency of service “ CIOs continue to struggle to align business and IT in meaningful, measurable ways. More effective IT governance processes and tools are becoming top priorities among business-savvy CIOs.” Five Ways the Rise of IT Governance Will Change How Enterprises Buy IT, Summit Strategies, December 2005 Improved team effectiveness • Measuring the right things • Communicating clearly between business and IT

  7. SOA Governance assists in moving the company from a function view to a process view that is key to SOA From: To: Function oriented Process oriented Build for permanence Support business adaptability One long development cycle Incremental development cycles Application silos Orchestrated solutions that work together Tightly coupled Loosely coupled Structuring applications using components and objects Structure applications using services Known implementation Implementation abstraction

  8. Future State Applications Service Service Enterprise Service Bus Service Service Service Service Automotive client value realization with SOA Governance Results so far: • Improving customer satisfaction (sales and delivery to support cycle) • reducing customer data duplication and providing near real time access to information • Increasing agility through a governance focus • driving shared infrastructure and services across the organization • ease of organization integration (e.g. access to customer information) • Expected results: • Decreased maintenance expense, smaller application and data portfolio • Quicker response to changing requirements, flexible connectivity, and reusable services • Smoother growth scaleable, reliable infrastructure

  9. Lessons Learned - Implementing good governance early will assist in supporting SOA adoption and success 1. Garner C-level backing across the board 2. Engage the business and drive business value 3. Establish an SOA funding model for the long term 4. An Enterprise Architecture facilitates initial setup of SOA governance 5.

  17. SOA Consortium Practitioner Community

  18. COP: SOA Governance Considerations • SOA Governance encompasses IT and Business aspects: • IT: reuse, investment and technical interoperability • Business: accuracy, consistency and interoperability (information exchange) • Successful SOA Execution requires education on working in a consumer – provider model • Advertisement, expectation setting, agreements, certification, collaboration and trust. • SOA Governance programs/processes must anticipate and plan for change • Assume multiple versions of a service will be in production (set limit) • Manage service lifecycles to that limit • SOA Governance programs/processes must anticipate and plan for valid deviations from standards  • Project timelines, Quality of service requirements, Quality of protection requirements etc.  • Include processes for variance and bringing the variant back into the architecture • Communication is Critical! • Within IT, Between IT and Business • Governance bodies: Data, IT, Business and SOA
