Subject: Re: [soa-rm-ra] Burton Group SOA-RA

My only concern in having someone like this be a TC member is they have an answer to sell and I'm not sure it would be easy to build a solution that didn't align with that answer.  I am certainly interested in work others have done and other perspective, but anyone coming to this TC has to have an open mind on what the answer can be.

Joe and the RA team,

 

We too our Burton Group members and during a recent hosting of FFRDC EA and CIO face-to-face meeting here at the Lab in January, Anne Thomas Manes gave an introductory briefing on SOA.  She did not go into detail about Burton's SOA-RA but rather gave a general briefing about SOA as "something you do, not something you buy or build."  Here briefing was very rudimentary so I don't think it would have value to the team to upload it and I would probably have to obtain permission to do so anyway.  The Burton SOA-RA does, however, have value and we would be wise to do due diligence on the their RA in terms of its organization and content for relevance to our work.

 

So do we try and get somebody like Ms. Manes to join the SOA-RM TC and hence SOA-RA SC?  (And if so, it looks like Burton would have to become an OASIS member.)  This might be a challenge given that as most analyst organizations like Burton, Gartner, Forrester, etc. charge a fee for these type of consulting services.  In fact, I don't see any of the analyst organizations I just mentioned as OASIS members.

 

Thoughts??
