IBM releases event-driven SOA

At its Impact conference in Las Vegas on 14 July, IBM announced an event-driven extension to its WebSphere platform for managing services in an SOA environment, reports CIO.com.

IBM's WebSphere Business Events platform lets business users monitor and analyse events to see the connections among them that are not immediately obvious, then take action.

The platform itself can identify connections and trigger actions as needed and can identify a product defect by detecting the underlying pattern of the separate complaints, then triggering an alert to engineering or production of the possible defect.

MEGA introduces EA accelerator

MEGA International, an enterprise architecture, business process analysis, and governance, risk, and compliance solutions provider, introduced the MEGA EA Accelerator for The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF), says Thomas.Net.

Based on the MEGA Modelling Suite for business process analysis and EA, the MEGA EA Accelerator allows enterprise architects and business process analysts to follow a standard, comprehensive method to manage EA projects and insure project success.

The Accelerator implements the latest version of TOGAF, a detailed method and tools for designing an enterprise architecture.

Governance is key for SOA

A new global survey suggests that enterprise adoption of SOA has 'crossed the chasm', writes Business Wire.

The Best Practices for SOA Governance User Survey (Summer 2008) was produced by Software AG, a global leader in business infrastructure software.

Users also identified SOA governance as a key component of sustainable implementations with holistic, lifecycle approaches viewed as a core requirement. However, the overall maturity of their adoption was regarded as moderate with the state of their governance practices considered lacking.
