Already on your path to a solid SOA infrastructure? Just getting started? Wherever you are in your SOA roadmap, you'll need to know how to manage people, processes and projects. Governance is a vital part of SOA and what model you use can make all the difference in the world.

Because SOA applications are intrinsically fragmented, they introduce new governance challenges. But with the proper policies, principles, standards, procedures and processes in place, businesses can realize the full benefit of service orientation.

An effective SOA governance platform not only helps business and IT teams better identify which projects contribute most to business goals, but it also empowers employees to work and collaborate more efficiently by clearly defining their roles and responsibilities.

Greg Hodgkinson, Lead Consultant, Prolifics

Greg Hodgkinson is a Principle Consultant at Prolifics - an international IBM Premier Level Business Partner. He has worked in software architecture since 1996, initially in the field of component-based development (CBD), then seamlessly on to service-oriented architecture (SOA). His extended area of expertise is the software development process, and he assists Prolifics and IBM customers in adopting agile software development processes and SOA methods. Complementing this is his expertise in software development environment architecture. He is still very much a practitioner, and has been responsible for service architectures for a number of FTSE 100 companies.
