Executive Summary

Some organizations that have made the commitment to SOA are not yet witnessing the full benefits. While this may be justifiable for some, in general it's not an acceptable outcome for either the business in relation to meeting its objectives or IT in relation to winning further support for the continued rollout of SOA. An effective partnering strategy with better partner selection and management is a way to increase the likelihood of project success and satisfy the requirements of both the business and IT.
