A major complaint in IT and business organizations is that they don't have a common basis from which to have discussions. One talks technology and the other talks financials and goals, in between lies a lot of confusion. In 2005, Capgemini contributed a business centric SOA methodology to OASIS in the hope of fostering a movement away from technical SOA towards business centric SOA, and it remains the only publicly available SOA methodology in that space. This presentation covers that methodology, how to apply it to businesses, how to use it to better understand where technology investment should be made, but most importantly to understand how the business operates and IT's role in helping the business achieve its goals.
Steve Jones is currently CTO for Application Development Transformation at Capgemini and working within the Outsourcing business to understand how SOA will transform the way that Capgemini work within Outsourcing contracts. One of Capgemini's leading SOA practitioners and the author of the SOA methodology contributed to OASIS, the recent book "Enterprise SOA Adoption Strategies" and the IEEE Software article "Toward an acceptable definition of service".
His current focus is on how using SOA as a business driven exercise, rather than a technology one, can help organisations create IT estates that better represent the business. A member of several standards bodies including the OASIS SOA Reference Model, Java SE 6 and Java Business Integration (JBI), Steve is Capgemini's sponsor of their membership of both the OASIS and Java Community Process groups.
Steve is a regular presenter at industry events, including technical specialization conferences from the IEEE, technology vendor events and this year was part of the keynote presentation at JavaOne.
