SOA Governance Framework

At CBDI we have always advocated that governance needs to be rooted in clear policy definition and in fact devoted an article to this. Since that time we have been busy assisting organizations improve SOA governance approaches based on an underlying foundation of clear policy definition. One thing that has emerged vividly from this work is that organizations must move forward at their own pace and in a way that is realistic in terms of their current SOA adoption level.

Moreover the approach taken to SOA governance must be in tune with the overall governance requirements and political climate. We have therefore distilled these experiences into an SOA Governance Framework - embracing policy, process, infrastructure and capability maturity - that can be tailored to each organization's specific needs.
