EVERWARE-CBDI
SOA KNOWLEDGEBASE AVAILABLE TO GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ON GSA SCHEDULE
Documented
Best Practices for High Quality and Repeatable Delivery Accelerate
Federal SOA Capability Maturity
FAIRFAX, Va,
December 1st, 2008. Everware-CBDI Inc. the
leading independent source of best practices, consulting and education
on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) announced today that their SOA
subscription products have been approved by the General Services
Administration (GSA) for inclusion on Schedule 76. The two
subscription offerings available are CBDI Forum Gold and Platinum
membership.
CBDI Service Architecture and Engineering (CBDI SAE™) is the leading,
comprehensive methodology for SOA and comprises integrated concepts,
reference architecture and processes in a structured approach for
SOA. SAE is based on sound architectural principles that can
deliver flexibility, sharing, and consistency of Services.
The CBDI SAE™ Knowledgebase provides role-based guidance for SOA
adoption and delivery including SOA governance, service architecture
and design, and service portfolio management, and more. It is available
to Platinum members through a Microsoft Sharepoint hosted portal which
provides users detailed guidance on all aspects of the SAE SOA
Reference Framework, including:
- Reference Model and Reference Architecture
- Detailed SOA deliverables with templates and
worked examples
- Extensive technique and practice guidance
- Discipline and process definitions
SOA is widely regarded as one of the most profound changes in
enterprise computing. Yet there is general confusion over basic
concepts, architecture and practices. Everware-CBDI President Dave Mayo
explains, “Many organizations are facing challenges in adopting SOA
because they are receiving advice from a multitude of sources – from
vendor white papers to SOA-focused blogs. The CBDI SAE provides an
integrated, tested approach to SOA implementation that can eliminate
years of wasted and inconsistent effort in achieving the goals of SOA
adoption.”
OMB and the Federal CIO Council are promoting the adoption of SOA as a
way to improve organizational agility, information sharing and
interoperability. Everware-CBDI played a lead role in
developing the Practical
Guide for Federal SOA, recently released by the Federal
CIO Council (see: PGFSOA).
CBDI SAE supports the concepts and recommendations contained in the
Practical Guide and provides productivity aids designed to accelerate
SOA capability maturity. Obtaining these resources via the GSA Schedule
will enable government organizations to access the same valuable
resources employed by leading commercial enterprises.
