Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Governance is a critical factor for the success of SOA implementations, yet a detailed SOA Governance framework is lacking. The paper reintroduces a conceptual SOA Governance framework in a healthcare setting. The proposed framework is based on a rigorous literature review and consist of nine governance elements that should be considered during the SOA practice. The identification and conceptualisation of the elements are grounded in the normative literature. Moreover, the authors propose a unique formulation combining nine elements of SOA Governance with SOA Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) challenges. This proposal aims to pinpoint attributes and guidelines for each element, required to successfully govern SOA and tackle longstanding HIS challenges. The framework is intended to be used as a decision supporting tool for SOA governance in a healthcare setting.

This chapter depicts the gradual development of a conceptual SOA Governance Framework tailored for healthcare organisations. The proposed framework presented herein is based on the authors' previous research and includes nine SOA Governance elements that need to be considered during the SOA process. The identification and conceptualisation of the elements were grounded in the normative literature and further developed to include healthcare specific aspects. This comes as a method to overcome the limitations identified in normative literature and enhance the elements' conceptualisation. Besides, the authors propose a unique design combining nine elements of SOA Governance with SOA Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) challenges. This proposal aims to pinpoint attributes and guidelines for each element, required to successfully govern SOA and tackle longstanding HIS challenges. The framework is intended to be used as a decision supporting tool for SOA Governance in a healthcare setting.

Cloud computing has emerged as a powerful new technology. The processing and computation power embedded in the cloud technology is not only flexible but also infinitely scalable and cost effective. Service oriented architecture (SOA) is a perfect stage for cloud computing. SOA has allowed customers and organizations to achieve cloud computing and reap its benefits that would not have been possible through any other architecture. This paper discusses the concept and importance of service oriented cloud computing by highlighting possible architectures, their benefits and critical success factors.

Systematic Synthesis

Information Technology (IT) projects are more and more aligned with business goals. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) was introduced to achieve this, align business with IT, and increase IT flexibility, reuse of services in more manageable way. Unfortunately, healthcare organisations that have adopted SOA have yet to benefit from their investment. Industry analysts and academics agree that SOA Governance is a critical success factors for SOA projects. Addressing the substantial research gap, this chapter investigates longstanding challenges and proposes a SOA Governance framework as a way to improve IT/SOA success and guide the alignment of IT and business. The authors present a systematic synthesis of the latest research findings and professional experience on SOA Governance considerations for successful IT projects.

Longstanding Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) integration challenges drove healthcare organisations to invest in new paradigms like Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Yet, SOA holds challenges of its own, with SOA Governance surfacing on the top. This research depicts the development of a conceptual SOA Governance Element entitled “SOA Governance Process”. ?his element is part of a SOA Governance framework that includes nine distinctive elements with SOA Governance Process being one of the critical ones. The conceptualisation of the proposed element is based on the authors' previous research, grounded in the normative literature and further developed to include healthcare aspects. The proposition is tested in a large Greek hospital utilising qualitative methods and the findings presented herein. This proposal aims to pinpoint attributes and guidelines for SOA Governance Process, required to successfully govern SOA and tackle longstanding HIS challenges.

The Right

In adoption process of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), the legacy systems of a company can not be neglected. The reason is the legacy systems have been deployed in the past and have been running critical business processes within an enterprise in its current IT architecture. However not all migration process of legacy systems to SOA has been successfull. Highlighting the right factors to reach legacy systems migration success in a specific company is the key value. The main adopted research method in this study has been interviewed for different companies with different enterprises including bank, furniture, engineering and airline companies in Europe. Through separate interviews, critical success factors of migrating legacy systems into SOA have been collected and identified in each case company. Finally collected results are analyzed and presented as the recognized factors affecting successful migration oflegacy assets into SOA from business and technical perspectives.

Many vendors have acclaimed Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) as a better way to design and build enterprise-wide information systems (EWIS). While these claims may be true in the private sector, there is scant evidence in the literature for the same success in the public sector. The adoption of Enterprise-wide SOA (ESOA) as the dominant development paradigm within an organization often requires significant organizational changes, which are difficult to achieve in the public sector, with its strict hierarchies and departmental independence. Although many government departments are beginning to adopt this new paradigm, the literature does not provide a suitable ESOA implementation readiness framework for use in the public sector. This research proposes a framework based on Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and a CSF scorecard to evaluate an organisation’s ESOA implementation readiness. The framework and scorecard were tested in a test case in the Malaysian government, and the results validate the accuracy and usefulness of both the CSF Framework and the CSF Scorecard.
