The Foundation of SOA Quality

ABSTRACT:
The adoption of service-oriented architecture (SOA) continues to move from early adopters to mainstream corporate initiatives. While most organizations are engaged in some form of SOA initiative, few, if any, are to the point of realizing a positive return on their investments. Without this return, businesses are finding it challenging to quickly achieve their intended goals of business agility and costs savings from service reuse.

This white paper discusses the steps necessary for achieving improved SOA quality. Explore how each role in an organization's design time, change time and runtime environments can apply a strategic approach to ensuring quality at the outset of an SOA initiative. Learn how to obtain the agility and reuse necessary from this loosely-coupled infrastructure to quickly yield significant ROI. Gain insight into the technologies that lay the foundation for optimal SOA quality.
