Microsoft Services Business Architecture (MSBA) Discovery - Workshop

Overview Microsoft advocates a real world approach to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Microsoft has a comprehensive SOA offering that provides developers, architects and IT professionals with the tools, technologies, framework and guidance for building and maintaining SOA solutions, as well as the personal productivity software that enables business users to streamline and optimize business processes in a manner that increases productivity, lowers costs, and promotes organizational agility. Agenda Microsoft Services Business Architecture (MSBA) gives your organization the insight necessary to pinpoint needs, prioritize projects, reengineer processes, and make strategic decisions that deliver clear value to the business, whether you need to cut costs, reduce risks, or grow the business. MSBA focuses on analyzing business capabilities, not processes. We can therefore uncover information that is very different from the insights revealed through process mapping. Due to the inherent stability and objectivity of capability mapping MSBA provides the ideal business foundation for successful SOA. The MSBA SOA Discovery offering is aimed at helping customers understand the business value of SOA early on in the envisioning and planning stages for SOA. Working alongside customers we offer an opportunity to apply MSBA to a subset of your business in an analysis of how business value can be driven from the Microsoft SOA approach.
