Guidance for the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Approach

The SOA approach enables applications to be built from independent services that are accessed in a standard way. ISIS provides a set of workshops and one-day courses that build an organization's knowledge base about SOA environments. These workshops and one-day courses can be provided at an organization's location.

As a result of this workshop, an organization develops a plan to identifying its SOA priorities and implementing a set of concrete tasks.

Basics of SOA
In this half-day working session, SEI experts walk participants through the elements of SOA and reveal some common misconceptions about it.

SOA governance provides a set of policies, rules, and enforcement mechanisms for developing, using, and evolving SOA assets and for analysis of their business value. In this workshop, the SEI team facilitates a session to help the customer organization develop a set of appropriate SOA governance polices, procedures, and practices. The SOA Governance workshop is a natural complement to the session on SOA Strategy.

Introduction to SOA
The Introduction to SOA course delves into the basics of SOA, including its common misconceptions and the four pillars of SOA-based systems development (strategic alignment, SOA governance, technology evaluation, and a change in organizational mindset).
