Business Service Modeling Techniques
The separation of business analysis and solution design and construction are quite distinct in most custom development projects. Analysts typically gather and document business requirements that are handed over to architects and developers who design and build corresponding automation logic.
A project delivering a contemporary service-oriented solution changes this approach somewhat by blurring the lines that divide the initial project phases. SOA emphasizes a direct relationship between business analysis intelligence and the services that end up representing and implementing business logic.
The architectural model established by SOA and further defined by the common principles of service-orientation provides the very real potential to finally unite the business and automation domains of an enterprise. To accomplish this, though, requires that organizations take the time to model and build services that encapsulate and express business logic in an accurate and extensible manner.
The creation of business services is therefore becoming the focal point of many contemporary SOA initiatives. They require the collaboration of business analysis and technology architecture expertise and introduce new requirements, roles, and processes to traditional development project lifecycles.
This seminar builds upon the service modeling process established in the Service-Oriented Analysis and Service Modeling Hands-On Workshop by focusing solely on the definition of different types of business services and discussing some of the more important aspects of how SOA and service-orientation relate to and augment traditional business analysis approaches.
