Relating Master Data Management to SOA
by Chris Madrid
Distributed application development has proliferated business data throughout the enterprise, resulting in a web of dependent and redundant data silos that adversely affect enterprise agility. Many assumed that by merely adopting SOA these complexities would be magically abstracted and a method for seamlessly aggregating this data for consumption would manifest itself. However, it turns out that for most larger IT enterprises challenges, such as variations in data quality, differing primary keys, and multiple systems of record, have created a situation where real-time aggregation of data is impractical. Master Data Management (MDM) has emerged as a potential solution for removing this barrier...

SOA in Healthcare (Part I)
by Girish Juneja,

Healthcare organizations today are challenged to manage growing portfolios of systems and applications. The cost of acquiring, integrating, and maintaining these systems is rising, while end-user demands are increasing. Furthermore, evolving clinical requirements need to be continually accommodated along with the required support for revenue cycle and administration business functions. In addition to all these factors, there are increased demands for enabling interoperability between other healthcare organizations to regionally support care delivery. SOA offers system design and management principles in support of the reuse and sharing of system resources across that are potentially very valuable to a typical healthcare organization. This two part article explores how healthcare organizations can leverage shared services to automate multiple business processes and strengthen overall interoperability while reducing the need to synchronize data between isolated systems. Services may be made available, no matter their location, to create solutions that reach beyond the desktop, the department, and the healthcare organization as a whole...

A Program Management Methodology for SOA
by James P. Lawler
Program management is a key part of any successful IT project. With SOA, the management of a "program of related projects" is often required when carrying out larger adoption initiatives. But even when your SOA project revolves around just a single solution, the management of the delivery of that solution should be part of a formal program. This article describes a disciplined program management methodology for organizations attempting SOA projects and is further supplemented by the results of a two-year long research effort during which 15 projects across different organizations were studied and assessed...
