SOA Governance: Applying Governance to Ensure the Long-term Benefits of SOA |
The reason for the adoption of SOA is primarily to enable ongoing change, and change without governance will invariably lead to chaos. The way in which SOA accommodates change is by creating autonomous services instead of monolithic applications, so there are many more active components in a SOA environment, each of which needs to be subject to the governance processes.
To be successful, SOA governance needs to address four phases:- Planning
- Design and Development
- Runtime
- Change Lifecycle.
Therefore, SOA cannot be planned and implemented by IT on its own, but must be a collaborative effort between business and IT.
This report looks at all aspects of the governance of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) implementations, and provides information that will assist organizations in planning and implementing an SOA governance initiative. In particular, the Report discusses the organizational issues of SOA governance as well as the technologies that can be deployed to assist the governance effort.
The report is aimed at CIOs, IT managers, business strategy managers, business analysts, system architects, security managers and other senior decision maker in both IT and business functions. |

Document and Records Management: Controlling Information Risk and Aiding Compliance |
| Despite numerous high-profile litigation cases, organizations are still laying themselves open to risk by not managing their information effectively. Senior executives must understand their responsibilities for the management of information – claiming ignorance of poor practices is no defense.
Too many Document and Records Management (DRM) implementations fail because organizations do not clearly define their objectives before they start. To be successful, a DRM system must be aligned to business objectives and driven by the business and not by IT.
According to research from Datamonitor, Enterprise Content Management (ECM) has a market penetration of over 80%, with more than 40% of organizations planning to invest in new ECM systems or expand their solutions in the next two years. This means that many organizations that have already implemented DRM are considering deploying a different product, either because the first implementation was less than successful and did not provide the business benefits expected, or because their requirements have evolved and their current solution can no longer address their needs.
Therefore, what organizations require now is a more practical look at how to achieve a successful DRM implementation and how to apply some of the supporting DRM technologies. That is the objective of this Report. |
