Creating a Framework for Innovation with SOA Bruce Graham Vice President, WW SOA Practice
Agenda The drivers for SOA - InfoWorld Research Taking a Structured Approach to SOA Where do you start? How well prepared are your peers for SOA? The Emerging Services Infrastructure Layer
What’s really happening with SOA - InfoWorld Sponsored Research InfoWorld and BEA fielded a joint study in Jan/Feb05 To learn more about the pace & drivers for SOA adoption, Methodology CXO, VP, IT Director and Management levels Functional areas covered IT Depts, Enterprise Application groups and all Corporate/Business Functions Size: 500+ employees 692 surveys completed
The Key “Pains” They Want To Solve More flexible architecture Integration to existing applications Tech points of pain Data integration Business process implementation Enterprise portal initiatives Custom application development Composite applications More effective integration with business partners Customer service initiatives Business points of pain Employee self service Streamlined supply chain More effective use of external service providers Global sourcing Q: What are the critical business or IT problems your company hopes to address using SOA? Base: Personally involved with SOA, 261 respondents in companies 500+ Source – BEA sponsored research with InfoWorld
The Benefits They Now Receive More agile IT systems that can be adapted to change faster More reuse of IT Shortened application development lifecycle Automate manual business processes End users need fewer application interfaces to accomplish the same tasks More efficient business partner collaboration End users get access to better information in real time Q: Which benefits of SOA has your company realised so far? Base: Personally involved with SOA and considering/planning to deploy or have pilot projects in place, 167 respondents in companies 500+ Source – BEA sponsored research with InfoWorld
Top 5 “Proof Points” They Need Implementation models “Tell me how get started” Reference architectures Tools like these help customers build the business case for SOA ROI tools and methodologies “Help me prove it works” Customer references and success stories, case studies Project cost estimates Q: What tools and resources would be most useful to you in building a business case for SOA? Base: personally involved with SOA, 261 respondents in companies 500+ Source – BEA sponsored research with InfoWorld

Where do you Start? SOA Readiness Self-Assessment Tool © Web Based Assessment Tool Helps you to organise thoughts around SOA Adoption and benchmark against peers – over 600 to date 10-15 Minutes to complete Multiple choice questions – What best matches your environment/ organisation Foundation – Domain and Maturity Model Provides a customised report automatically sent to client within 24 hours Available in 5 languages across Europe http://uk.bea.com/soa
How “ready” are companies across the 6 domains Source: BEA Service-Oriented Architecture Readiness Self-Assessment© Architecture Overall map of how all Services are layered and inter-operate. Reference architecture based on applicable best practices. 48% 46% 41% 40% 39% Organisation and Governance Revised roles and responsibilities of the shared services function in the IT department, including resource requirements, based on implementing SOA. Projects and Applications Development approach to mining and service-enabling legacy application portfolio, also incorporating “in-flight projects” currently underway Companies currently rate themselves at below 50% proficient in all dimensions of the SOA model, reflecting the need for companies to build broad, multi-dimensional “roadmaps” as they migrate to SOA. Business Process, Strategy Understanding and responding to the impact of SOA on the firm's long-term strategy and near-term initiatives. Services are developed based on business process needs and business drivers. Cost and Benefits Expected costs to construct the services layer, and overall cost to operate in the new model.
