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
Whats 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 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+ More effective use of external service providers Customer service initiatives Enterprise portal initiatives Composite applications Custom application development More effective integration with business partners Data integration Integration to existing applications Business process implementation More flexible architecture Employee self service Streamlined supply chain Global sourcing Tech points of pain Business points of pain Source – BEA sponsored research with InfoWorld
The Benefits They Now Receive 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+ End users get access to better information in real time More efficient business partner collaboration More reuse of IT Automate manual business processes Shortened application development lifecycle End users need fewer application interfaces to accomplish the same tasks More agile IT systems that can be adapted to change faster Source – BEA sponsored research with InfoWorld
Top 5 Proof Points They Need 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+ Reference architectures Customer references and success stories, case studies ROI tools and methodologies Project cost estimates Implementation models Tools like these help customers build the business case for SOA Tell me how get started Help me prove it works Source – BEA sponsored research with InfoWorld

How ready are companies across the 6 domains Architecture Overall map of how all Services are layered and inter- operate. Reference architecture based on applicable best practices. 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 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. Building Blocks Shared Application Services, Business, Event and Data Services 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.
