2.2 If you have indicated a significant change in your maturity level, can you describe the projects that have done most to advance that maturity?
2.3 If there has been a significant change, can you identify the top 3 drivers for that change?
2.4 Are there any additional comments you would like to add to elaborate on the SOA maturity of your organization?
3.1 PESC: Admissions application
3.2 PESC: Educational Test Scores
3.3 If you have checked one or more items in 3.2, please list the tests (eg SAT, TOEFL, GRE etc)
3.4 PESC: High School Transcript
3.5 PESC: College transcript
3.6 Do you use any of the following IMS standards (in any capacity)
3.7 Are you using any XML standards in your administrative systems?
3.8 Please list any other industry (vertical) standards that do not appear in the lists above
4.1 Are you using the web service integration capabilities of any of the following:
4.2 Do you have any additional comments on the use of these capabilities?
Note: in this section the word service is used in the narrow technical sense of a capability that is available through a machine readable interface (web service RMI
etc) rather than service in the broader ITIL sense.
5.1 Does your organization include architectural reviews in its project methodology
1=not at all 5=consistently
5.2 Are the principles of SOA applied during architectural reviews?
1=not at all 5=consistently
5.3 Do you have processes for documenting and publishing service contracts?
1=not at all 5=consistently
5.4 Do you have a change management process for service contracts?
1=not at all 5=consistently
5.5 Is there a central (enterprise wide) repository for service contracts?
5.7 Has SOA changed your IT governance? If so, how?
Successful SOA depends on a clearly articulated ontology. Service endpoints need to understand the data contained in messages. Maturity around data architecture is
a precondition for SOA maturity.
6.1 Do you have a conceptual enterprise data model?
1=none at all 5=a complete model
6.2 Do you have well documented logical data models?
1=none at all 5=a complete model
6.3 Do you have well documented physical data models?
1=none at all 5=a complete model
6.4 Have you developed governance structures around data?
1=None at all 5=Mature governance
Services need to be built on mature identity and access management practices. Successful IAM is another precondition for successful SOA.
7.1 Do you have an enterprise Identity and Access Management roadmap?
7.2 When applications invoke services on behalf of a user, are requests represented as coming from the user?
7.3 When applications invoke services, how do services authenticate the requests?
7.4 After requests are authenticated, do services access another service to determine what the requestor is authorized to do?
7.5 More generally, how do you manage trust between distributed components ?
8.1 Is SOA part of your Software Development Life-cycle?
1=Not at all 5=Consistently
8.2 If SOA is part of your SDLC, please explain how
8.3 Do you use any high level design artifacts such as capability maps, service decompositions or enterprise ontologies? If so, could you describe them?
8.4 Do you version your service contracts during the design process?
8.5 How do you publish (document) your service contracts?
8.7 What message structures do you use?
9.2 Please indicate whether you are a) exploring the product, b) implementing a pilot or, c) have an enterprise implementation
9.3 Are you using one or more of the following service bus applications?
9.4 Please indicate whether you are a) exploring the product, b) implementing a pilot or, c) have an enterprise implementation
9.5 Please indicate which enterprise services are connected via a bus
9.6 Which of the following technology standards do you use?
9.7 Which of the following security related standards do you use?
9.8 How would you describe the logical topology of your SOA
10.1 Indicate whether you think that SOA has led to an increase in strategic value in any of these areas
10.2 Metrics
10.3 Are there any other comments you might like to add on the topic of SOA and cost-benefit
