Where to begin?• Don’t go it alone – work with a trusted partner

• Develop a current state “as is” picture of your environment (tightly coupled spaghetti)

• Create a Service Oriented “to be” picture (loosely coupled SOA)

R th b d t b i• Run the numbers and put a business case together to realize your “to be” picture.

In a successful SOA…

• The value of SOA is well understood from top to bottom in the organizationto bottom in the organization

• A solid governance program is in placeg p g p

• New applications are designed and developed i S i O i t d A hit tusing a Service Oriented Architecture

• Preference is given to new COTS applications e e e ce s g e to e CO S app cat o sthat expose major functionality through web services

In a successful SOA (continued) …

• An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and open standards (XML/SOAP) are always used forstandards (XML/SOAP) are always used for systems integration – never point to point!

• A combined top down (business process) and bottom up (technology) approach is used to identify and build Enterprise Services

• Your service providers and partners fully• Your service providers and partners fully understand the importance of SOA and follow your guidelinesyour guidelines
