Service Oriented Architecture is very hot now: most survey have about 60% of large firms starting an SOA project this year. Left to their own devices, many SOA projects will go bad. One of the main reasons is that a purely developer lead project has a tendency to re-implement Distributed Objects with XML interfaces, instead of applying the discipline needed to get to truly reusable services and messages. In this session will we review a methodology we have used successfully on several engagements we call the "Enterprise Message Model" (EMM). In this session attendees will:
- Learn the basics of SOA - Be able to describe why letting an SOA project run open loop is likely to fail
- Understand the basics of the EMM methodology Data Modeling professionals
are in a great position to assist their firms with their SOA projects,
if they seize the opportunity.
