MIT’s Center for Information Systems Research and Diamond Management and Technology Consultants recently collaborated on research project surveying architecture leaders on SOA adoption, current practices, value and results and barriers to SOA success.

The research objective is to help those responsible for architecture better understand how their organizations stack up on a variety of key SOA metrics: investment, progress, reuse, and others.

In this presentation, Jeanne Ross will share the results of the survey analysis, including insights gained on the linkages, if any, between SOA initiatives and company financial performance.

A multi-agency Records Management Service initiative has been undertaken by an Interagency Project Team composed of nineteen Federal Agencies under the leadership of the National Archives and Records Administration. The service is being developed in the context of the US Federal Government's over-arching approach to move to Service Oriented Architecture in the Enterprise Architecture of its agencies. This presentation provides an overview of the activities of a government Community of Practice defining and enabling a Records Management Service in order to realize the vision of Service Oriented Architecture in Federal Government.

This presentation will explore SOA, as implemented through the common Web Services standards. It offers Federal senior leadership teams a path forward, given the diverse and complex information technology (IT) portfolio that they have inherited, allowing for incremental and focused improvement of their IT support systems. We will also discuss the SOA Trade space and briefly cover our project team’s efforts.
