How to make the business case for SOA

Read a full text transcript of the podcast. 

Selling SOA economics inside of enterprises is as important as executing on SOA deployments. Both business leaders and IT leaders are learning how to begin the short- and long-term cost-benefit analysis for SOA. It's complicated, and varies from company to company.

To learn more, I recently moderated a sponsored BriefingsDirect podcast on how to make the business case for SOA. Joining me were executives from Hewlett-Packard's (HP's) Consulting and Integration Division: Terri Bennett Schoenrock, executive director of SOA services and consulting integration and J2EE open source programs, along with Andrew Pugsley, worldwide lead for SOA service development.

In the 30-minute podcast, we examine the pay-offs and opportunities from moving to SOA, ramping-up with HP's assessment processes and advacement methodologies, as well as some user-case studies on how to measure success. Podcast sponsor: HP. Have a listen and/or read a transcript of the discussion.
