Upcoming Research:
Improve Application Integration Governance

Without effective governance, SOA has no value.

More Details

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.
