Your Challenge
SOA adoption remains half-hearted. Departments hesitate to use SOA services and secretly develop their own versions on the side.
ESB systems are in chaos, and performance suffers due to network inefficiencies that arise due to a lack of planning.
Our Advice
Hypothesis
SOA governance requires ongoing review of work products to ensure appropriate use of services.
ESBs require distributed governance, which is a good thing when you have data stewards at each system. So things like MDM and data security privacy have to be governed by a distributed, concensus-based model, just like the architecture is a distributed model.
