In-Depth Information
Achieving the real promise of SOA ultimately means analyzing current and future busi-
ness processes in order to streamline them and discover service candidates. Architects who
focus on business processes will use business process modeling tools to create standard
representations of business processes. These models typically can be exported to a form
such as BPEL. The output of this work can be used by service developers.
There are generally a number of technical architects.
Service developer
Service developers work with technical architects to implement services using an IDE.
They work with the network administrators to ensure the safe arrival of the services into
production. They may also support and maintain services after they are developed.
Service custodian
Service custodians' primary tools are the registry and repository. They ensure that services
are available and documentation is correct. They may serve with architects on a change
control or governance board, and they keep on top of versioning and availability.
