SOA Impact Analysis

SOA is a concept.  The road to SOA can be challenging.  This offering allows you to understand the SOA impact to your organization, and what steps you need to take to successfully move into an SOA environment.  The Impact Analysis reviews your organizational capabilities and readiness for Technology and Tools, Organization Alignment, and Methodology and Process.  An SOA Impact Analysis identifies critical SOA enablers and areas of impact to consider when developing a strategy for SOA within an organization, relating specifically to technology and tools, organizational alignment, and methodology and process

Given the major potential of SOA to radically improve business competitiveness and reduce IT costs, it stands to reason that an assessment of key organization and technology impact areas is essential to both mitigate risks and maximize opportunities for garnering the business benefits from SOA.  Such an assessment, focused on critical SOA success factors that are based on best practices, provides an informed basis for development of a phased SOA migration plan that delivers early, measurable, and incremental benefits while avoiding major disruptions.  Key areas of impact that warrant such review are:

• Technology and Tools
• Organization Alignment
• Methodology and Process
