Section 1 - The Value of SOA - Identify business functions where SOA can improve competitiveness and productivity. Identify how SOA can provide return on investment (ROI) (improve competitiveness, reduce costs, increase responsiveness.) Identify the SOA features that make businesses more agile. Identify the opportunity costs of not adopting SOA. Identify situations where SOA does not provide the desired value or is not appropriate. Identify the business drivers for SOA.

Section 2 - SOA Concepts - Define the concept of a service in SOA. Describe the architectural concepts used in SOA (for example: loose coupling and separation of concerns.) Describe the roles that XML plays in SOA. Describe the role of a service registry and/or repository in SOA. Explain what a business process is in the context of SOA (including business process management and automation) and how it facilitates business flexibility. Determine the role that technology standards (SOAP, WSDL, WS-Security, BPEL, WS-I, ) play in SOA. Describe the role that Web 2.0 and its related technologies play in SOA (for example: REST and AJAX.) Describe the importance of goals, KPIs, and measurement to business success with SOA.

Section 3 - Basic SOA Architecture - Describe the characteristics of a basic SOA architecture. Describe the elements of the IBM SOA Reference Architecture, and their roles and relationships. Describe the enterprise service bus (ESB) and its role in SOA. Describe the role of Web services and messaging in building an SOA. Describe orchestration of business processes using services and human interactions. Describe the stages of the SOA lifecycle (model, assemble, deploy, manage.)

Section 4 - SOA Management - Explain the need for SOA governance. Describe SOA governance and related concepts (roles and responsibilities, funding models, policies, enforcement, critical success factors, and metrics.) Describe Quality of Service (QoS) issues pertinent to SOA. Explain the need for a distributed security model (including issues like identify provisioning and propagation.) Identify the impact of changes to services in the SOA lifecycle (change management, versioning, and service lifecycle.) Identify the role of an enterprise service bus (ESB) in SOA management and governance. Identify service management issues.

Section 5 - Preparing for SOA - Describe the elements of SOA governance that need to be addressed during the preparation for SOA. Understand the importance of documenting business issues, drivers and goals when preparing for SOA. Capture and assess IT issues, drivers, and goals (including metrics and KPIs.) Describe the people, organizational, and technology factors that impact readiness for SOA and its success. Describe the steps for SOA adoption (including adoption roadmaps and maturity assessments.) Identify barriers to SOA adoption. Describe points of entry into SOA. Describe the importance of securing executive sponsorship and solving funding issues for SOA adoption.

FACTO Framework de Governança Tecnológica Corporativa


Resumo. Uma Arquitetura Corporativa pode ser um meio para realizar a governança de TI e assim, garantir uma vantagem competitiva a empresa. Após décadas de estudos, pesquisadores concluíram que a abordagem ainda é imatura, existe uma dispersão sobre os assuntos pesquisados e pouca participação da indústria. Há ainda diversos problemas a resolver durante a sua implantação (e.g. metodologias, padrões, modelos para avaliação e gestão) o que dificulta o alinhamento correto desse arcabouço frente às perspectivas das empresas. Este trabalho contribui com uma abordagem híbrida que insere um modelo de processo de software em um ciclo de vida da arquitetura com base em modelos de gestão. Neste âmbito, o trabalho apresenta o FACTO, um roteiro para institucionalizar, avaliar e implantar uma Arquitetura Corporativa em um ambiente de desenvolvimento de software.

Abstract - Enterprise Architecture can be a means to achieve IT governance, what ensures a competitive advantage to organization. However, after dozens years of studies, researchers have inferred about the approaching be immature. There also a big dispersion about its subjects and a bit participation of the industry, while there are several troubles to solve during their applying, which hinders the right alignment to enterprise perspectives. This work, contributes to a hybrid approach, which inserts into the architecture life cycle, a software process model based on management models. In this context, this paper presents the FACTO, a roadmap for institutionalizing, evaluating and implementing an Enterprise Architecture within a software development environment.
