SOA Governance

Yet, as the number of services grows within an organization committed to SOA, realizing those benefits becomes difficult without putting in place policies and procedures. SOA governance ensures the effective and efficient use of SOA in enabling an organization to achieve its goals with policies, procedures, roles and responsibilities for both design-time and run-time governance:

• Design-time/Lifecycle governance focuses on the entire lifecycle of an application, service or artifact, including design, development, testing, deployment, maintenance, retirement.
• Run-time/Operational governance ensures that once the services are deployed appropriate security, auditing and logging policies are enforced and performance-based SLAs are met.

TIBCO's integrated SOA governance portfolio enables organizations to implement end-to-end governance across the entire service lifecycle. With integrated registry, repository, policy and service management infrastructure, TIBCO simplifies how developers publish, discover, reuse and change service, which increases return on investment and delivers on the promise of SOA.
