4.2.1: Business Objectives
Use EA and SOA to Align with Business Objectives Other Information:
Service-oriented architecture enables organizations to establish their context within complex value chains. Federal agencies
should take an enterprise view of the value they provide to their constituencies – across programs or sub-organizations within
their agencies, between agencies and often different levels of government, and at times between governments internationally.
The provider/consumer model intrinsic to SOA allows each organization to focus on providing the services their constituents
require while enabling them to request, with new clarity, the services they want. Critical Success Factors: • Business models
are developed jointly by the business operators and IT, but are maintained by IT to insure that they are integrated within
the overall enterprise architecture. • Up-to-date and accurate business models are maintained in your EA. Depth increases
with maturity by incorporating detail required for each business solution. • Business models become the primary means for
communicating changing business requirements.
