Service Oriented Architecture - Client

If you are a client:
Take a top-down approach to implementing SOA concepts and you will have a higher likelihood of making your company more agile and competitive. Those who approach it with trepidation in a piecemeal approach will struggle. You will need to:
  • Capture application functionality and dependencies
  • Identify any current services that may have been built or delivered from a third-party solution
  • Map workflows of applications and sub-processes
  • Identify redundant information across the enterprise
  • Identify data models, reports and translations of similar data
  • Start small with easy wins like single sign-on, error handling, monitoring and notifications
  • Create an implementation project plan with measurable milestones
