Service Oriented Enterprise Architecture Framework

The concept of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has had a significant impact not only on software engineering but on the analysis of an organization’s business layer as well. In this paper we demonstrate that using the SOA concept into the Enterprise Architecture (EA) framework makes the best of the synergy existing between these two approaches. We will examine the characteristics of this relationship before proposing a roadmap for integrating SOA and EA into the Service Oriented Enterprise Architecture (SOEA). Some managerial aspects leading to a successful implementation of this kind of projects will be discussed.
