| Abstract: |
The Salamander Organization have recently introduced SOA modeling capabilities to their MooD Business Architect toolset, supporting the CBDI Forum’s SAE Meta Model for SOA. In this report we look at how MooD delivers convergence of both business and Service architecture modeling, and examine the coverage it provides for the meta model. |
| Backgrounder: |
The Salamander Organization has been in operation for just over a decade delivering technology support to enterprise architecture and transformation. It has developed the MooD Business Architect toolset as well as associated professional services.
In this report we examine the capabilities offered by MooD in support of the CBDI SAETM Meta Model that has been released as a “Service Architecture Sampler” DSL.
Supporting Business and SOA Modeling:
One of the aims of MooD is to improve consistency between diverse views of the enterprise, covering both business and IT perspectives. Similarly CBDI Forum’s aim with the MM4SOA was to provide greater traceability all the way from business concepts through to service deployment.
Supporting the modeling requirements of both SOA and the business within the same model should enable:
- Business driven SOA – where the business drives the service architecture, not the reverse, which ensures greater Business/IT convergence and alignment
- SOA support for business strategy
- Documenting the relationship between business concepts/assets and IT assets
Improving the consistency and traceability across the whole Service life cycle from business to IT deployment
- Service identification based on analysis of business models
- Enforcing architectural integrity
- Modeling and recording SOA strategy |
