Business Analysis in a SOA World
by Kyle Gabhart and Kimberly Terribile, CBAP
Service
Oriented Architecture (SOA). At first glance, this seems like the sort of thing
that only software architects and application developers should be concerned
with. Upon further investigation, it is clear that while the technology team is
intimately involved in implementing a Service Oriented Architecture but, there
are other essential (and sometimes overlooked) roles such as the Business
Analyst. Before you can implement SOA, you have to analyze your business and
understand the core functions you perform. Getting a handle on your organization
to support a SOA strategy is not for the faint of heart. It requires significant
commitment from the "powers that be" and a commitment to investing in the
initiative from a strategic enterprise perspective.
