Actionable Data Governance: Talk is Cheap, But Can You Really Implement a Sustainable Data Governance Program?
There is so much written right now about data governance. Who needs data governance? In truth, some organizations (usually very small) do not need a robust data governance program. However, the rest of us do need to consider things like who is using the data, where is the data being used, and the accuracy of the data. Along with all those ‘data’ issues come business rules, data policies, and usage guidelines. Not the easiest endeavor – data governance!

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a business and technical approach that enables companies to move forward with their business initiatives supported by technology rather than being limited by IT. SOA enables users and systems (consumers) to use applications (services) made available on a computer network. SOA is not a single technology, but it is an architectural style for integrating business software applications (custom, ERP, legacy, Open Source or vendor supplied). SOA focuses on loosely coupled services, automated end-to-end business processes, and reusing existing IT systems resources based on open standards.

Why SOA?

SOA provides the means to deliver integrated business applications in a timely fashion with the least amount of intervention to change application code or structure. SOA delivers real, tangible business value.
