View the Presentation

This Conference workshop presentation provides an overview of the Service Oriented Modeling and Architecture (SOMA) methodology.  This methodology was developed, from experience, to assist in both organizational and software systems transformation in the journey from the “As Is” state to a modernized Services Oriented “To Be” state.  SOMA deals with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) “in the whole”, at an organizational level, providing both methodologies and tools to manage and coordinate organizational transformation across multiple projects.

By the end of the presentation, the viewer should have a basic understanding of SOMA concepts as well as the challenges, both technical and organizational, that are involved in transforming an organization’s IT infrastructure into a more nimble and loosely-coupled Services based computing foundation.
