1. The survey found that while most organizations have started SOA initiatives, maturity levels are still low with many still in the process of defining SOA frameworks and governance. 2. Enterprise architecture teams generally have stronger technology skills than business skills. For both EA and SOA, establishing governance and gaining business buy-in are major challenges. 3. Respondents from larger organizations in the SOA Consortium reported more mature EA/SOA programs and greater empowerment of architecture teams than public respondents from smaller companies.
A rundown of the key findings and overall themes of InvestmentNews' flagship adviser technology benchmarking study, addressing the driving factors behind how and why firms invest in technology, the factors they weigh the closest in making those key decisions, and the strategies they implement to better their firms.
InvestmentNews Research collected firm-level data from over 300 independent advisory firms in December 2014 - January 2014. Firms submitted truncated P&L data, including measures of operating expenses, profits, revenue, assets, client and staff. "Top Performers", or the most profitable and productive firms, and "Innovators", the firms who utilized the most technology at their firms, were identified as cohorts used to benchmark the industry.

2 Authors of the study, Greg Geracie & David Heidt, discuss surprising findings of this important research on product team success. Moderated by Cindy F. Solomon, CPM, CPMM for AIPMM Webinar Series
This presentation introduces some of the most common reasons why organizations choose to adopt Agile approaches. It presents high level statistics on software development project success to demonstrate why the traditional project management approach may not be suitable for all projects. The presentation introduces what Agile is and the reasons justifying its adoption. Once the Agile concepts have been presented, the material introduces the Scrum approach by giving a walk through of a typical process. The presentation ends with the main impacts on people managers within organizations who are adopting Agile.

People are encouraged to do what's best for society
Families and communities have a central role
In collectivistic cultures, people are considered "good" if they are
generous,

It is difficult to overstate the importance of governance to SOA initiatives, whether in the context of service governance (i.e. governing the lifecycle of services from creation through deployment) or the broader issues of IT governance (commonly defined as specifying the decision rights and accountability framework to encourage desirable behavior in the use of IT). This session presents a holistic discussion of governance with SOA. It outlines the key policies that organizations should consider with regards to finance, portfolios, operations, architecture, technology, projects and people. It will also outline six successful steps to governance with SOA, as part of the decisions, processes and policies that contribute to successful business and SOA objectives. The presenters will address, how as part of the execution of an SOA strategy, organizations should put together a SOA Roadmap. Also discussed is how organizations need to govern the execution of the SOA Roadmap to ensure delivery of all SOA and business objectives.
Organizations are using SOA to speed application development and facilitate business process optimization plans, according to a new
TechWeb survey. In these early days of SOA deployments, most companies are satisfied with their progress—but only about one-quarter rate their success as "exceptional."
Based on global research from leading IT research firm EMA, these slides—based on the webinar—provide a uniquely comprehensive look at IT automation technologies in terms of what is deployed, what is most valuable, and what is lacking in today’s solutions.
The success of any transformation efforts depending on the best practices followed over the transformation and beyond. Enterprise Architecture practice helps to execute the transformation efforts seamlessly. This presentation discover more details.
IT operations, as well as IT in general, are often fragmented in the face of cloud, agile, and mobile, along with other pressures to adapt and perform as a true business. As a result, in most organizations, digital transformation remains more of a promise than a reality. Fortunately, there are signs of progress.
These slides--based on the webinar hosted by leading IT analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) and StreamWeaver --provide insights on:
- Why digital transformation depends on IT transformation
- The growth of advanced IT analytics
- The need for well-integrated data from across a wide variety of sources
- The benefits when data and analytics do come together
- Real-world examples taken from EMA research and StreamWeaver customers
Observability is the most important capability needed to manage the development, deployment, and operation of modern systems.
These slides—based on the webinar with EMA Research and LightStep--explore the importance of observability and how to address this capability for complex systems.
