CBDI Forum Membership

A CBDI Forum membership provides organization with access to a unique knowledgebase, ongoing continuous practice research guidance materials and hotline access to CBDI Forum experts. The monthly CBDI Journal provides in-depth treatment of key practice issues and guidance for architects, business analysts and managers. Forum Meetings are held periodically in Europe and North America allowing peers to engage and exchange experience and best practices.

The CBDI Journal is our primary best practice and analytical reporting mechanism. Every month we deliver in-depth reports which might cover topical matters, products, vendors, best practices, patterns and markets. An important attribute of the Journal is that many of the reports do not date. The entire library of back issues represents a significant resource base.

The majority of the CBDI Journal output is focused on vendor and technology independent best practice guidance

The Journal sections include:

  • Editorial
  • Best Practice Reports
  • Market Analysis and Industry trends
  • Vendor Insights and Product Reports
  • Case Studies

The CBDI SAE Knowledgebase provides users detailed guidance on all aspects of the CBDI-SAE™ SOA Reference Framework, a collection of knowledge and best practice including a reference model for SOA comprising defined concepts, reference architecture and processes that can provide enterprises with a structured approach and framework for SOA based on sound architectural principles for flexibility, sharing, and consistency of Services. The Knowledgebase includes:

  • A Reference Model and Reference Architecture
  • Detailed SOA deliverables with templates
  • Discipline and process definitions detailing tasks and techniques
