Delivering SOA Governance with EAMS and Oracle Enterprise Repository by Link Consulting Team
- by JuergenKress
In the last 12 years Link Consulting has been making its presence in
specific areas such as Governance and Architecture, both in terms of
practices and methodologies, products, know-how and technological
expertise. The Enterprise Architecture Management System - Oracle
Enterprise Edition (EAMS - OER Edition) is the result of this experience
and combines the architecture management solution with OER in order to
deliver a product specialized for SOA Governance that gathers the better
of two worlds in solution that enables SOA Governance projects,
initiatives and programs.
Enterprise Architecture Management System
Enterprise
Architecture Management System (EAMS), is an automation based solution
that enables the efficient management of Enterprise Architectures. The
solution uses configured enterprise repositories and takes advantages of
its features to provide automation capabilities to the users. EAMS
provides capabilities to create/customize/analyze repository data,
architectural blueprints, reports and analytic charts.
Oracle Enterprise Repository
Oracle
Enterprise Repository (OER) is one of the major and central elements of
the Oracle SOA Governance solution. Oracle Enterprise Repository
provides the tools to manage and govern the metadata for any type of
software asset, from business processes and services to patterns,
frameworks, applications, components, and models. OER maps the
relationships and inter-dependencies that connect those assets to
improve impact analysis, promote and optimize their reuse, and measure
their impact on the bottom line. It provides the visibility, feedback,
controls, and analytics to keep your SOA on track to deliver business
value. The intense focus on automation helps to overcome barriers to SOA
adoption and streamline governance throughout the lifecycle.
Core capabilities of the OER include:
Asset Management
Asset Lifecycle Management
Usage Tracking
Service Discovery
Version Management
Dependency Analysis
Portfolio Management
EAMS - OER Edition
The
solution takes the advantages and features from both products and
combines them in a symbiotic tool that enhances the quality of SOA
Governance Initiatives and Programs.
EAMS is able to produce a
vast number of outputs by combining its analytical engine, SOA-specific
configurations and the assets in OER and other related tools, catalogs
and repositories. The configurations encompass not only the extendable
parametrization of the metadata but also fully configurable blueprints,
PowerPoint reports, charts and queries.
The SOA blueprints
The
solution comes with a set of predefined architectural representations
that help the organization better perceive their SOA landscape. More
blueprints can be easily created in order to accommodate the
organizations needs in terms of detail, audience and metadata.
Charts & Dashboards
The
solution encompasses a set of predefined charts and dashboards that
promote a more agile way to control and explore the assets.
Time Based Visualization
All
representations are time bound, and with EAMS - OER you can truly
govern SOA with a complete view of the Past, Present and Future; The
solution delivers Gap Analysis, a project oriented approach while taking
into consideration the As-Was, As-Is an To-Be.
