» FEATURED: Everybody Needs SOA
Article Rating (4088 Views) (0 Comments)
Everybody Needs SOA Ladies and Gentleman of the class of 2011, adopt SOA. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, SOA would be it. The long term benefits of SOA may not yet have been proven and my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.

» FEATURED: Business Oriented Architecture and SOA
Article Rating (4663 Views) (0 Comments)
Business Oriented Architecture and SOA I know many of you are still trying to get to grips with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), so apologies in advance for the potential mental exertion and confusion of introducing Business Oriented Architecture (BOA).

» FEATURED: Documenting SOA (Service Oriented Architecture)
Article Rating (8660 Views) (0 Comments)
Documenting SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) For projects that may well be delivered by Service Oriented Architecture (possibly using Service Oriented Analysis), I would suggest that you may need to consider different or additional ways of documenting your requirements and specifications. The reason for this is that the way you shape your requirements needs to encompass both the holistic natu...

» FEATURED: Service Oriented Analysis
Article Rating (6305 Views) (0 Comments)
Service Oriented Analysis Although you can do ‘standard’ requirements gathering for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) projects, there is now an evolving a set of analysis techniques, methods and approaches that purport to be better suited to information gathering and design specification. I will call these generically Service Oriented Analysis.

» FEATURED: Top Tips for Successful SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) Pilots
Article Rating (4942 Views) (0 Comments)
Top Tips for Successful SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) Pilots We are often asked what you need to do to run a successful SOA Pilot. Based on our experience of dozens of pilots, I propose that the following characteristics are essential to success.

» FEATURED: Guerrilla Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
Article Rating (4277 Views) (0 Comments)
Guerrilla Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) It is unfortunate, but not surprising, that the elegant and relatively simple view of SOA has become bloated with a bewildering array of methodologies and products, leading to confusion and bafflement by many of its proponents and potential converts.

» FEATURED: SOA: Re-use with Registries and Repositories
Article Rating (3426 Views) (0 Comments)
So far in this column on SOA for Analysts, I have talked about the use and re-use of services as building blocks to put together new or better business applications. Now you are getting familiar with this concept, I need to peel away a layer of the SOA onion and expose you to a few tears by revealing this as a half-truth.

» FEATURED: The Business Analyst of Tomorrow (and Now Today) It is a Software Development Revolution
Article Rating (6204 Views) (4 Comments)
We are witnessing a marked increase in both the importance of and focus on the work of the business analyst that is directly proportional to the depth with which cloud computing services are utilized. What's more, we are experiencing a shift in the tools and skills that our analysts and those of our customers are required to utilize.

» FEATURED: SOA as a Service
Article Rating (3242 Views) (0 Comments)
Anyone perusing the computing rags (or their online equivalents) will no doubt have noticed that this year's big thing for applications development is a combination of Cloud Computing and Software as a Service (SaaS). I'll talk about Clouds in a future blog, as I want to concentrate on the SaaS phenomenon today.

» FEATURED: Process-Driven SOA
Article Rating (5588 Views) (3 Comments)
Much of the current buzz about SOA has been focussed on the technology (inevitably Web Services) or the importance of reusability. However the real value of SOA is in the improvement to processes and ways of working that reflect the alignment of an organisation with its customers and suppliers.  The approach we favour is one that begins by ali...

» FEATURED: The SOA Experience for Analysts
Article Rating (4374 Views) (2 Comments)
Most analysts are introduced to SOA in one of three ways; two of which are potentially painful and one of which is actually useful. I’ll let you decide which you would prefer.

» FEATURED: More Confusing SOA Terms
Article Rating (7047 Views) (0 Comments)
In the last article I covered the term Service to death. In this one I want to go through a number of other SOA Three Letter Acronyms and terms that you may come across and for which you would like to be able to nod knowingly.

» FEATURED: Can SOA Give You A Good Service?
Article Rating (4396 Views) (2 Comments)
Like any other religion, sorry architecture, SOA has its own language and meanings for the terms it uses. Unfortunately, some of these words can be very confusing, none more than the term "service". So here is a bluffer's guide to understanding and conversing in SOA-speak.

» FEATURED: SOA What: SOA 101 for Analysts
Article Rating (6453 Views) (3 Comments)
In this SOA article I would like to begin by defining what SOA is and what you need to know about it. In future articles, I will explore some of the challenges and benefits of SOA to the analyst community. Let’s start off with a definition of SOA. You can, of course, look at a number of definitions of SOA on the Web, but you will find the...

» Business analysis and SOA part 6 of 6: Service-oriented analysis and service modeling
Article Rating (2789 Views) (0 Comments)
In the articles leading up to this final installment in our series, we established relevant business service models and service delivery strategies.
