Creating a Framework for Innovation with SOA Bruce Graham Vice President, WW SOA Practice Agenda The drivers for SOA - InfoWorld Research Taking a Structured Approach to SOA Where do you start? How well prepared are your peers for SOA? The Emerging Services Infrastructure Layer What’s really happening with SOA InfoWorld Sponsored Research InfoWorld and BEA fielded a joint study in Jan/Feb05 To learn more about the pace & drivers for SOA adoption, Methodology CXO, VP, IT Director and Management levels Functional areas covered IT Depts, Enterprise Application groups and all Corporate/Business Functions Size: 500+ employees 692 surveys completed The Key “Pains” They Want To Solve More flexible architecture 63% Integration to existing applications 59% Data integration Business process implementation 47% Enterprise portal initiatives 45% Custom application development 42% Composite applications 42% More effective integration with business partners 59% 53% Customer service initiatives Employee self service More effective use of external service providers Global sourcing 10% Business points of pain 46% Streamlined supply chain 0% Tech points of pain 58% 20% 35% 26% 24% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% Q: What are the critical business or IT problems your company hopes to address using SOA? Base: Personally involved with SOA, 261 respondents in companies 500+ Source – BEA sponsored research with InfoWorld The Benefits They Now Receive 52% More agile IT systems that can be adapted to change faster 47% More reuse of IT 34% Shortened application development lifecycle 29% Automate manual business processes End users need fewer application interfaces to accomplish the same tasks More efficient business partner collaboration End users get access to better information in real time 0% 28% 27% 22% 20% 40% 60% Q: Which benefits of SOA has your company realised so far? Base: Personally involved with SOA and considering/planning to deploy or have pilot projects in place, 167 respondents in companies 500+ Source – BEA sponsored research with InfoWorld Top 5 “Proof Points” They Need 64% Implementation models 55% Reference architectures 46% ROI tools and methodologies Customer references and success stories, case studies Project cost estimates 0% 20% “Tell me how get started” 44% “Help me prove it works” Tools like these help customers build the business case for SOA 37% 40% 60% 80% Q: What tools and resources would be most useful to you in building a business case for SOA?

SOA Readiness Self-Assessment Tool Web Based Assessment Tool  Helps you to organise thoughts around SOA Adoption and benchmark against peers – over 600 to date  10-15 Minutes to complete  Multiple choice questions – What best matches your environment/ organisation  Foundation – Domain and Maturity Model  Provides a customised report automatically sent to client within 24 hours  Available in 5 languages across Europe  http://uk.bea.com/soa © How “ready” are companies across the 6 domains Source: BEA Service-Oriented Architecture Readiness Self-Assessment© Architecture 48% Overall map of how all Services are layered and interoperate. Reference architecture based on applicable best practices. Organisation and Governance 48% Revised roles and responsibilities of the shared services function in the IT department, including resource requirements, based on implementing SOA. Projects and Applications 46% Development approach to mining and serviceenabling legacy application portfolio, also incorporating “in-flight projects” currently underway Business Process, Strategy 41% Understanding and responding to the impact of SOA on the firm's long-term strategy and near-term initiatives. Services are developed based on business process needs and business drivers. Cost and Benefits 40% Expected costs to construct the services layer, and overall cost to operate in the new model. Building Blocks Shared Application Services, Business, Event and Data Services (% = EMEA comparison to WW) 39% Companies currently rate themselves at below 50% proficient in all dimensions of the SOA model, reflecting the need for companies to build broad, multidimensional “roadmaps” as they migrate to SOA.
