Solutions Overview

Automated SOA Governance begins early and extends wide across the enterprise.

SOA Governance can be the difference between a successful SOA initiative and one that is stalled. The critical decisions that need to be made are when to start applying governance, what can we automate and how far should our governance reach. This section will guide you through some of the lessons and best practices that we have learned from our customers.

The first step is to start governing early in the service development life cycle. By starting early you avoid the extensive labor of rework due to non compliance. WebLayers has integraiton with an extensive collection of service development technologies.

The next step would be to establish a SOA Center of Excellence. WebLayers accelerates your work in establishing the necessary components for a successful COE.

Then the focus should be on scaling up and building out the SOA infrastructure, you need the freedom to choose the best-of-breed components without sacrificing vendor accountability. We provide solutions from Eclipse to source control to build to asset management to Registry/Repository and even Mainframes.

For those companies that want to seamlessly integrate business processes both internally as well as with their business partners. WebLayers for Industry Frameworks can help you insure that the applicaitons that are being exposed are in line with the industry standards.
