The Government And Service Oriented Architecture Presented by: Dan Pelman

What is a Service Oriented Architecture? Who should be concerned and is it valuable? Where to start and how do I get there? Are there any government success stories? How should SOA be used to leverage value into the future? A Short Review

What SOA is and is not  SOA is:  An approach or framework  A viable approach to reducing cost SOA is not: A technology A panacea Distributed Computing or Modular Programming SOA should be: A Journey not a Jump Flexible, Scalable and Accessible

Who in the Government should be interested in SOA?  Those that have to meet expanded business demands with lower budgets  Those that want to be prepared to leverage future technologies  Core Business Executives and Managers  Chief Information Officers and Chief Architects

When..Where..and How.. to Start  When?  Once Your Enterprise Architecture includes it as a mandate… why?  Where?  Data Web Services Note: this is a technology implementation and having or using web services does not mean you have a SOA  How?  Think Big, Start Small (Oliver Rist, InfoWorld, Nov 2007)  Consider provisioning using existing infrastructure.
