Subject: FW: intro discussion for Wednesday [was: [soa-rm-ra] positioningSOA on the cusp between IT and business]
Resend for current discussion. Also, the wording from Frank that I found on target: "I sympathize with the sentiment behind this. We have consistently identified SOA as being at the boundary between business and IT. It is neither wholly IT nor wholly business but is of both worlds. That represents potentially one of SOA's greatest opportunities; and the source of its weaknesses: neither business nor IT can completely own/grok SOA." -----Original Message----- From: Laskey, Ken Sent: Monday, September 21, 2009 11:33 AM To: mpoulin@usa.com; soa-rm-ra@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: intro discussion for Wednesday [was: [soa-rm-ra] positioning SOA on the cusp between IT and business] This is a reminder that this week we are scheduled to discuss adding the text on the overlap of SOA and business. Below is text suggested by Michael Poulin and there is another email from Boris with a lot of idea that would need to be condensed and added/substituted/combined. Let's get the discussion far enough along that we can bring this to (close to) closure by the end of Wednesday's call. I remember there was an email where Frank wrote something very crisp on this subject that I replied was exactly what we needed to say. Unfortunately, I have no idea when that email thread occurred. If someone could find it, I think it would be a good contribution to the discussion. Back to Mike's suggested text, two immediate things come to mind. 1. Section 1.4 is a discussion of the views and this is not a view to be added as 1.4.4. I think it fits after section 1.2, possibly as another short section. 2. It is not obvious to me what the phrase "the similarity of the principles of the Value Networks business model" means.

In the previous message I composed a few words for a small section on this topic and propose to discuss them as an initial draft during the next (or following) Telecom. Proposed text may be found in the middle of this message chain. Any suggestions? - Michael -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: RE: todos for PR2 From: mpoulin@usa.com To: soa-rm-ra@lists.oasis-open.org Date: 8 Sep 2009 16:21:26 -0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "positioning SOA on the cusp between IT and business" is what I write a lot for last few months. So, let me propose a strawman for this text: 1.4.4 Business Value of the Service Oriented Architecture A Service Oriented Architecture realizes principles of the concept of service orientation in the sphere of architecture. The architecture in the organisation comprises both business architecture and technical architecture of the systems [ref. to TOGAF 9.0]. While SOA-based systems address aspects of the technical architecture, the similarity of the principles of the Value Networks business model and SOA allows us to see SOA as a conceptual bridge between corporate Business and IT. Noticed similarity opens up new possibilities for Business and IT to construct service-oriented customer-centric convergent solutions for business problems. Service orientation enables operational and technical flexibility, which contributes to business efficiency the great deal. The Service Orientation concept has the potential not only to align IT with Business, but also to align the entire company with the market dynamics. If the ideas in this writing are acceptable, I will work on the wording. - Michael Poulin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Francis McCabe <fmccabe@gmail.com> To: "soa-rm-ra@lists.oasis-open.org RA" <soa-rm-ra@lists.oasis-open.org> Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2009 19:24:08 -0700 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. As Boris alluded to, I think that a paragraph or two in the introduction positioning SOA on the cusp between IT and business could be very useful. It is also pretty faithful to the RAF! 2. The concept of interaction in the RM referred *everything* involved in interacting with services. For the RA we have to unpack that some. This is the foundation for the multi-leveled concept of joint action. This should go in Section 3.1. 3. I think that Danny's security diagram should be updated and incorporated. 4. The trust and willingness stuff should go in. 5. It would be good if we could go through the text bolding defined concepts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Date Prev] | [Thread Prev] | [Thread Next] | [Date Next] -- [Date Index] | [Thread Index] | [List Home]
