» FEATURED: Top Tips for Successful SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) Pilots
Article Rating (895 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 (1043 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 (864 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 (2564 Views) (5 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 (848 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.

Article Rating (1405 Views) (3 Comments)
Much of the current buzz about SOA has been focussed on the technology (inevitably Web Services) or the importance of reusability.

» FEATURED: The SOA Experience for Analysts
Article Rating (1448 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: Can SOA Give You A Good Service?
Article Rating (1741 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.

» Architecture Is Architecture Is Architecture
Article Rating (900 Views) (2 Comments)
There appears to be a gross misunderstanding about Architecture, particularly in the information technology community. Many people seem to think that an implementation, an end result, is Architecture. To use an Architecture and Construction example, many people think that the Roman Coliseum is Architecture. The Roman Coliseum is NOT Architecture. ...

» Framework Standards: What's it all about?
Article Rating (819 Views) (0 Comments)
Two years ago, some of my friends pressed me intensely to be more definitive about the Framework concepts. Even though, I had written “The Book”, they were specifically asking me for definitions of the entities that comprise the metamodel of Row 2 of the Enterprise Framework.
