Pop Quiz - The game of SOA

Posted in General | Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 | 3 Comments »

I have been playing a bit with the definition of SOA, and instead of trying to define SOA I have defined when SOA is reached:

    SOA is reached when the IT organization has all the architectural support, governance support, and tooling required to manage IT as a business. Business processes are constantly being optimized. The agile business is realized, and the monitoring is automated. Optimisation is the main focus and new technologies, that can improve the return on investment (ROI), can be implemented quick and seamlessly.

I believe that this little game had a quite interesting result! But as I am due to hand in my master thesis on Tuesday, you will have to wait a bit for the follow-up.
