Role of EA & SOA in Government Transformation

We have a few problems… Inconsistencies in process, semantics, technology Redundancy in business processes, systems Lack of interoperability Stakeholders must engage with multiple organizations to achieve a single objective Difficulties sharing information Organizational rigidities prevent quick response IT not well aligned with business objectives and difficult to change

Inconsistencies in process, semantics, technology

Redundancy in business processes, systems

Lack of interoperability

Stakeholders must engage with multiple organizations to achieve a single objective

Difficulties sharing information

Organizational rigidities prevent quick response

IT not well aligned with business objectives and difficult to change

EA is the Most Valuable Tool to Support Government Transformation Architecture is necessary to manage complexity Models assist in understanding, prioritizing and communicating FEA is the only tool available for cross-agency analysis Many government value chains cross agency boundaries (and government levels, too) Fundamental value of EA is aligning investments with priorities

SOA Basics SOA is an architectural best practice for EA All organizations need agility; therefore all need SOA SOA should be the predominant architectural pattern in all agency EAs Services affect everything Service oriented enterprise (SOE) Service oriented architecture (SOA) Service oriented infrastructure (SOI) Acquisition & Portfolio Management Acquire capabilities, not systems Manage a portfolio of services Service Oriented Architecture is a paradigm for organizing and utilizing distributed capabilities that may be under the control of different ownership domains. -- OASIS SOA Reference Model version 1.0

SOA is an architectural best practice for EA

All organizations need agility; therefore all need SOA

SOA should be the predominant architectural pattern in all agency EAs

Services affect everything

Service oriented enterprise (SOE)

Service oriented architecture (SOA)

Service oriented infrastructure (SOI)

Acquisition & Portfolio Management

Acquire capabilities, not systems

Manage a portfolio of services

Service Oriented Architecture is a paradigm for organizing and utilizing distributed capabilities that may be under the control of different ownership domains.
