A matter of SO scope at AA Level

Hi Rob,
I think you may be reading Anne's quoted statements out of context. Anne is stating a bunch of web services, built for a single application project, will most likely not result in a simpler portfolio and a rationalized application architecture. A silo project mentality using web services will result in cheaper integration. A silo project mentality will not result in enough re-use and sharing to reach touted goals of flexibility, agility, and business transformation. The scope and level must match expectations promoted to stakeholders.

Burton Group has published multiple reports promoting how service-orientation can be successfully applied to application architecture. Specifically, our 'Application Rationalization' and 'Application Portfolio Management' reports detail application architecture best practices.

best regards,
