Identification of Business Services Literature Review and Lessons Learned
René Börner, Matthias Goeken · Americas Conference on Information Systems · 2009
Business-driven identification of services is a precondition for a successful implementation of service-oriented architectures (SOA). This article compares existing identification methods retrieved from related work and discusses the shortcomings. In particular, a lack of economic aspects constitutes a problem and leaves space for improvements. Finally, the paper proposes a process-oriented method of service identification. This approach incorporates the business point of view, strategic and economic aspects as well as technical feasibility.
