摘要:
In general, the present invention provides a technique for IT estimation modeling of any organization. Although this estimation model is applied to SOA herein, it is not limited to solely estimating SOA activities; the maturity-based estimation modeling can be applied to other areas and disciplines, even beyond the IT industry. The maturity-based model of the present invention also offers executives and project managers a very effective estimating tool to analyze the impact of project variances. Resources do not need to be taken off projects and assigned to perform estimations, as this model acquires knowledge over time and delivers ever more precise estimates with each successive project. Executives and project managers may analyze the effects of additional staff, function changes, or other events to an overall project. Additionally, new projects may be estimated without utilizing current personnel with this adaptive learning model.

An invention that manages a service oriented architecture (SOA) lifecycle is provided. In one embodiment, there is a lifecycle management tool, including an identification component configured to identify a set of business objectives, evaluate a need for a SOA service solution based on the set of business objectives, and identify a set of candidate SOA shared services of the SOA shared service solution; a development component configured to develop service components for each of the set of candidate SOA shared services of the SOA shared service solution; and a deployment component configured to deploy at least one of the set of candidate SOA shared services of the SOA shared services solution.
摘要:
Methods, including service methods, articles of manufacture, systems, articles and programmable devices are provided for creating and using shared services through service-oriented architecture governance and a services lifecycle process. Service lifecycle steps are identified within a service-oriented architecture shared services model. Service stakeholders, decision-making touch-points and service state transition touch-points are identified in the shared services model, and service state-based lifecycle governance checkpoints within the shared services model are defined as a function of the identified service lifecycle steps, service stakeholders, decision-making touch-points and state transition touch-points. Further, integration points to existing processes are defined as a function of defined service state-based lifecycle governance checkpoints, governance fit-gap analyses are performed as a function of defined service state-based lifecycle governance checkpoints and identified service stakeholders, and services lifecycle gap touch-points are implemented as a function of the governance fit-gap analysis.

An approach that constructs a service oriented architecture (SOA) shared service is provided. In one embodiment, there is a service construction tool, including an input component configured to receive design input for a SOA shared service solution; and a construction component configured to construct a SOA shared service based on the design input for the SOA shared service solution.
摘要:
A method including querying a service provider for functional and nonfunctional qualifications of the service provider to provide a service having functional and nonfunctional requirements; responsive to input from the service provider, receiving by a requestor the functional qualifications and nonfunctional qualifications of the service provider including attesting by a third party, not the service provider or requestor, to at least the nonfunctional qualifications of the service provider; evaluating the functional qualifications and attested to nonfunctional qualifications of the service provider; and selecting a service provider having functional and attested to nonfunctional qualifications complying with the functional and nonfunctional requirements of the requestor. The method may be performed on one or more computing devices. Also disclosed is a computer program product.
摘要:
A method and system are disclosed for analyzing policies for compliance with a specified policy. The method comprises the steps of creating a policy template representing said specified policy, and comparing a group of given policies to said policy template to determine whether said given policies conflict with said specified policy. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the specified policy may include specified rules, the given policies include a plurality of given rules, and the policy template expresses said specified rules. In this preferred embodiment, the comparing step includes the step of comparing said plurality of given rules to the policy template to determine whether any of said given rules conflicts with said specified rules. In addition, preferably, if conflicts are found between said given policies and said specified policy, the given policies are modified to eliminate the conflicts.
