ABSTRACT

Adoption of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) caught

momentum several years ago in the IT industry. With

organizations increasingly investing in technology,

governance process and delivery aspects of SOA, the overall

maturity levels have increased. But has the same resulted in

proportionate gains and bene�ts for the organizations?

This paper analyzes the current trends and practices of

various organizations, across industry domains in the SOA &

Integration landscape, and attempts to understand its linkage

to value realization as well as challenges encountered. The

KEY FINDINGS

40% of all organizations surveyed fall in the “high SOA

maturity quadrant” which indicates the effectiveness and

ef�ciency of their SOA journey

Organizations are twice more likely to realize their

platform objectives than others in engagements with

effective Central Governance and/or Center of

Excellence (CoE)

Multi-channel adoption is the top-most ranked future

initiative by 60% of the respondents

RECOMMENDATIONS

A 'Pragmatic' integration capability towards multi-channel

programs, and a roadmap towards the target state

Governance and technology refresh should be

recommended at large engagements fairing low on

value realization

paper will provide insights into the future initiatives planned

by these organizations in the integration space such as

multi-channel enablement, extended enterprise and process

integration.

Based on the existing trends & pain-points, as well as the

SOA maturity levels, a set of recommendations and best

practices are provided to achieve the NextGen SOA / SOA

2.0. This includes scenario-based problem statement and

possible solutions covering technology, processes and

delivery aspects of SOA.

80% of respondents rate increased reusability and

reduction in point-to-point interfaces as the top-ranked

bene�ts resulting from SOA initiatives

Widespread interest to use Agile methodology (80-90%)

but organizations lack the maturity to operationalize it

Adoption of Cloud platforms is uniformly split across

capabilities like CRM & HCM but iPaaS adoption (< 10%)

is minimal

Delivery automation is an opportunity than can be piloted

at small engagements, and matured into an offering

Scope of open source adoption in low complexity

engagements which can be combined with delivery

automation to make an ef�cient and cost-effective solution

INTRODUCTION

While some organizations have chosen to focus on traditional Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) in the last decade or so, most of them have increasingly adopted SOA. It is predicted that organization’s spending on application integration will increase by 33% by year 2016*.

Companies across industry domains are at different maturity levels and have achieved varied degree of success in adopting and implementing SOA. Whether this has resulted in proportionate bene�ts has always been an interesting conundrum. Figure 1 answers this by depicting a relation between the SOA investments made and bene�ts obtained.

This survey was conducted on Wipro’s 40 key integration accounts across business domains. SOA investment was determined based on the level of maturity observed in the following foundational capabilities:

• Technology capabilities describes the integration middleware platform, patterns, monitoring as well as Cloud Integration and open source adoption in the SOA landscape (Weightage: 5)

• Process capabilities describe the SOA Governance structure and processes operationalized to ensure that integration projects follow standards and best practices

* Gartner - 2013 Strategic Road Map for Integration

Figure 1: SOA Investment – Value Realization Trends

(Weightage: 10). Higher weightage is provided as this is perceived as a key differentiator in SOA engagements

• Delivery capabilities describes the development model and accelerators used for successful execution of integration projects (Weightage: 5)

The observed integration capabilities were then linked to the reported realized bene�ts to plot the graph above (Figure 1). The realized bene�ts are detailed in the section for ‘Value Realization’. This maturity analysis will form the basis of the inferences and recommendations in the subsequent sections of this paper.

Key Observations

• 40% of the organizations fall in the “high maturity quadrant” and their success rate is found to be

proportional to the platform, governance, and delivery capabilities that were adopted/enhanced

• Organizations in BFSI and Retail business domains consistently depicted higher levels of SOA maturity majorly because

they embarked early on the SOA journey

• Accounts considered for Energy & Utilities (ENU) domain are in nascent stage of SOA adoption and hence have not

realized the bene�ts yet

Current state of customers in the integration landscape was ascertained by capturing attributes related to Technology,

Process & Delivery capabilities (Existing & Planned) as depicted in the Heat Map in Figure 2:

Key observations:

• Adoption for Cloud platforms is uniformly split across capabilities like CRM & HCM so far, but iPaaS adoption (< 10%) is not yet a reality

• Multi-channel adoption is a key business driver across business domains such as Banking/Healthcare/Retail and a top-ranked future initiative across the respondents. Roadblocks have been observed when this is not matched by integration agility

• Need for 'pragmatic' integration capability tuned towards multi-channel programs, and a realistic roadmap to grow it

• Organizations with security and regulatory considerations (such as BFSI) are still reluctant to invest in Open source products (< 10%) in their integration landscape

• Increased reusability & reduction in point-to-point interfaces (approx. 80%) are the top-ranked bene�ts resulting from SOA initiatives across business domains

CURRENT TRENDS & PRACTICES

Figure 2: SOA Capabilities – Business Domain Heat Map

• Distinct co-relation has been observed between effective service portfolio management & governance with the value realization achieved

• Canonical model adoption is high (> 60%) in most of the business units which indicates increased focus on standardization and interoperability

• Lack of successful adoption of Agile methodology has been observed which has resulted in 60% of the accounts relying on the Waterfall/Iterative model

• Delivery accelerators such as automated deployment and on-demand testing capabilities rank highest in customer’s wishlist

In addition to the summarized view, subsequent sections

will highlight comparison between high maturity & other

(low/medium maturity) customers.

• Even though “SOA services in ESB” pattern usage is high (e.g. > 80% in BFSI & RCTG), usage of point-to-point integrations is widespread

(ranked 3rd highest by respondents)

• Low usage of Process Integration (< 30%) cannot be attributed entirely to maturity and its adoption is dependent on the domain-speci�c requirements

• Design-time governance has been adapted to high degree and proportionate service reuse has also been achieved

• Service re-use as a process is prevalent with majority of organizations for both business and technology services

• Common data model is a key enabler and has been adopted (83% for high maturity; 60% for others) across rganizations. Refer to split of overall data model usage patterns in Figure 5

• CoE-driven delivery of integration projects (75% for high maturity organizations) has been observed as the more effective and ef�cient means of obtaining high value realization

VALUE REALIZATION

As was depicted in Figure 1, the bene�ts obtained from SOA are proportionate to the investments done. Another aspect of value realization is the degree to which the fundamental tenets of SOA are ful�lled.

• Agility is a combination of responses indicating improved delivery times, increase in frequency of B2B transactions, multi-channel enablement and BPM rollout/Process integration achieved

• Cost Reduction has been derived from responses indicating reduction in point-to-point interfaces, delivery ef�ciency and reduction in cost of developing and maintaining interfaces

• Reuse is derived as a factor of reusability of business/technical services & the resultant cost ef�ciency, as per the respondents

RECOMMENDATIONS

Given below are key recommendations and best practices which have been derived from the current trends and initiatives as well its impact on the value realization.

Based on the observations in Figure 11, and studying the middleware refactoring projects cited earlier, following is presented as a “pragmatic” middleware capability refresh plan for omni-channel adoption.

57% of respondents who reported existing or planned omni-channel programs are posing new capability challenges for middleware platforms. The respondents were queried whether the middleware platform has acted as an enabler for these programs to which close to 25% respondents said the middleware is a

pain-point for such programs, to an extent that middleware refactoring programs are required as part of the overall omni-channel program. Around 15% responded that middleware has been an enabler for omni-channel adoption. The results of the investigation into middleware capabilities of these respondents are below:

Governance

• Finalize a canonical model for channel interaction

• Ensure all channels interact via the canonical model

• Govern interaction patterns usage

• Catalog existing/planned cross-channel interactions

• Enforce centralized governance – typically constituted with key program architects

• Setup formal integration technology and process governance

• Query services are prone to variations across projects & devices, and should only be subjected to pattern governance

• Update services, in contrast, need harmonization across geos and products via effective governance

• Catalog cross-channel interaction

• Secure edge traf�c via gateway products

• Add caching preferably via distributed caches

• Surface master data, catalogs, campaigns, customer/account data to the cache from SORs/MDM-Hubs in the canonical format

• Support device dependent ad-hoc entity querying via the cache

• Update services typically need a robust orchestration/BPM engine

• Add monitoring & policy enforcement to the edge gateway

Technology

• Align to the wider omni-channel projects, which typically run agile

• Consolidate Integration projects as a shared service – run as agile if supported by previous success

Opportunity for Delivery Industrialization

40% respondents have cited addressing costs as an urgent IT & middleware goal. A similar number mentioned long middleware delivery cycles as a pain area. This perception is more pronounced in high maturity organizations, with 64% respondents citing these reasons. As this trend is only likely to accelerate, the current state of delivery automation across respondents were captured.

Based on these observations, a middleware industrialization offering can be created with open-source tools covering:

• Test-oriented development via Continuous Integration – effectively collapse the build, unit and system test phases

• Regression & Performance Test automation – increase reliability of the iterative multi-channel delivery process

Figure 13: Delivery Accelerator Adoption Trends

16

• Delivery process modelling via a work�ow

Such an offering can be co-developed with a stable engagement with a small middleware footprint. The resultant framework can subsequently be leveraged in solutions offered to prospective customers.

Customers with Low SOA Maturity Customers with High SOA Maturity

There is a demonstrated linkage between adoption of effective centralized governance & shared services CoE setups, and value realization from middleware i.e. agility, cost reduction, reuse & interoperability (high maturity is de�ned with a strong linkage to value realization).

The existence of governance does not, by itself, change the challenges faced by foundational platforms like middleware – LoB-oriented project structures and focus or lack of Enterprise Architecture (EA) / business sponsorship. However, effective governance establishes the requisite balance between LoB / delivery orientation and the shared-service aspects of the middleware platform.

1. 65% of the middleware organizations (< 10-15 member teams) achieve higher maturity with stable, shared services teams without a specialized integration governance structure. The survey further recommends that periodic reference architecture and best-practice reviews should be conducted to allow for course corrections.

2. For handling integration complexity in the front (channels) or back (enterprise applications), canonical model usage is a clear differentiator between high and low maturity organizations (80% v/s 30% adoption). The leader organizations are driving canonical usage for all new initiatives in channels and back-end systems as well.

3. All run-time monitoring & enforcement capability reported to us was directly linked to non-functional business requirements, and were not tied to collecting SOA metrics or planning. Overall, 70% respondents said they possess monitoring/alerting capability, 10% have or will plan end-to-end transaction monitoring, and 45% have policy enforcement enabled/planned.

Case for Open Source Middleware Adoption

There is overall 17% adoption for open-sourced ESBs and messaging, and at the moment con�ned to non-critical functionality. Most early adopters are typically large organizations (90%) piloting the capabilities.

However, there is a signi�cant cluster of smaller organizations (50% of non-BFSI organizations outside the

METHODOLOGY

The survey was completed via interviews with Wipro Integration & Enterprise Architects assigned to 40 client organizations across business units. The possibility of introduction of a perception bias in the report was mitigated by gathering view-points from different respondents from each organization.

The respondent split by domain is:

• BFSI – 33%• ENU – 17%• Telecom – 8%

18

‘high maturity’ quadrant in the survey were classi�ed as ‘small’), that can be targeted for open source adoption. The most important drivers are likely to be cost ef�ciency and relative ease of the migration. This can be more compelling when clubbed with the recommendation for delivery process automation described earlier.

• Healthcare – 11%• Manufacturing - 8%• Retail – 23%
