SOA Systems Blueprint

The SOA blueprint is a concrete realization of a strategic SOA plan, transforming the vision of the plan into actionable deliverables, goals and objectives. It provides a breakdown of proposed services, identified through domain decomposition and strategic planning, to which projects in the portfolio can be mapped. As a result, IT will have a more objective means for service discovery and realization, in addition to a formal representation of the value of the SOA as it evolves.

Furthermore, the impact of socializing the vision for SOA will produce new understanding, new candidate services and new opportunities for revenue and profit generation than existed before the roadmap vision is established.

The roadmap and service blueprint is the foundation of the SOA migration based on business value and objectives. The roadmap activities are defined in terms of people, processes, and technologies within the context of business-related projects to mature SOA disciplines together.
