SOA: The missing link between Enterprise Architecture and Solution Architecture
Enterprise Architecture (EA) is tasked to ensure Business-IT alignment. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is about bridging the gap between Business and IT through well defined, business aligned services.
The objectives of EA and SOA are quite similar. However, whereas EA is a framework that covers all dimensions of enterprise IT architecture, SOA provides an architectural strategy that uses the concept of a “Service” as the underpinning business-IT alignment entity. This article will highlight the dependencies between an EA framework & a SOA strategy from an artifact’s point of view.
ESB - A bandwagon worth jumping on
Bijoy Majumdar, Terance Dias, Ujval Mysore
Most ESB critics say that the ESB is nothing but a glorified integration platform which has already existed for some time now in the form of EAI tools; and that most people are just jumping on this "bandwagon" without actually understanding that it has got nothing new to offer. In this paper we put forth our views on why an ESB is a preferred platform for integration of services for enterprises that are aiming to achieve Service Oriented Architecture and what makes it "Abandwagon worth jumping on".
In the second part of the series, we examine how making enterprise architecture work means more than just developing the right content. It requires a defined governance framework, which is the key to effective enterprise architecture. Infosys' governance framework helps organizations to assess their performance and chart a continuous improvement course that deepens the impact of their EA program and ensures that it delivers the promised business value. Enterprise Architecture - A Governance Framework: Part I - Embedding Architecture into the Organization
While the dimensions of defining an enterprise architecture model - business, information, application and technical - have been fairly well established over the last years, there is much less clarity on how to govern enterprise architecture. Experience with many of our clients indicates that governance is not only the more difficult part to get right, but also determines the impact of the architecture team to a far greater degree. This presentation proposes to describe and manage this governance along six dimensions.
Enterprise Architecture - Evolving into a business driven agenda
To be of strategic consequence, EA's linkage to a firm's competitive advantage to consistently and competitively deliver products and services is paramount. The relationship between EA and business competitiveness therefore becomes an important area of focus, both in terms of research and best practices. But the world of EA is often dominated by stakeholders who have a technological agenda that ignores the business perspective.
