SOA Roadmap

A SOA Roadmap describes and envisions how SOA should be approached and introduced in an organisation. The roadmap focuses on activitites and milestones for both business and IT and makes sure that the transition to SOA is done using an iterative approach.

A SOA Roadmap is often initiated by organisations that have understood that SOA can bring significant benefits, but that the concept needs to be evaluated and put into context. The SOA roadmap is an instrument for understanding how and when such an effort should be launched.

A SOA Roadmap is based on an assessment of the current state when it comes to maturity and readiness for successfully introducing SOA within an organisation. SOA can be approached in different ways, and it is Acando's strong belief that SOA is not only a technical concept that should be handled by the IT department. Acando sees SOA as a paradigm shift, which can affect the whole business and thus requires the attention of the whole organisation.

The starting point for creating a SOA Roadmap is a SOA Value Assessment which Acando will scope together with the customer.
