SOA adoption has an impact upon and provides benefits for both business and IT. In order to successfully adopt SOA across the enterprise, it’s imperative that both business and IT commit to the program. Both sides must recognize that there will be different ways of working, and both should recognize that there will be benefits realized for each.
As the adoption of SOA proceeds across the enterprise, the Business Domain must consider:
- Stakeholder commitment. There are many stakeholders across the business community who must commit to and participate in the move to SOA–from executive management and the managers of business units to partners, suppliers, and, in some
cases, even customers. - Synchronization of business and IT. Better alignment of business and IT strategy and operations is a key benefit of the adoption of SOA. To make this happen, changes to operating processes and structures will be required, decisions will have to be linked and measurements and goals will need to be aligned.
