Research and Markets  has announced the addition of SOA Governance in the Enterprise to their offering.

2006 was a turning point for SOA, the year when the hype became reality. Multiple companies brought SOA to production, but reported that they faced multiple challenges in doing so. They told us that SOA was hard, and that the difficulties went beyond technology. Governance and control presented a major challenge; with the majority of the early adopters we interviewed citing governance as their top challenge. This paper is a response to that finding, and follows up the 2006 research with an exploration of SOA governance concepts and products.

This paper addresses the following governance related issues:

- Drivers for the Focus on Governance

- Organizational Governance

- SOA Governance

- EMA Research Findings: SOA Early Adopters

- SOA Governance Challenges

- SOA Governance Solutions
