SOA must drive business
|
Challenges to approaching service-oriented architecture (SOA) are based in three main areas, says Rachel Seabela, system architect at City Power.
The first challenge is to get buy-in; secondly, to ensure the architecture meets the business requirements set out by any given organisation; and finally, to manage the change that needs to take place, adds Seabela, a keynote speaker at the ITWeb SOA 2007 Conference.
“SOA cannot be approached in a quantitative manner. The problem with this is companies are asked to spend large amounts of money for something that seems to have intangible benefits,” she says.
Implementers need to build solid business cases to substantiate that spend, she notes. One possible solution is to approach any SOA implementation from what she calls an enterprise architecture perspective.
