3. SOA Pilots

4. Outcomes from initial pilots
Focus on business objects (swedish gsim-like model)
Make all services speak the same language - interfaces based on business objects
Process oriented business objects
Interconnect the services by using a separate "communication platform"
Invest in an integration platform (biztalk)
Create "smart" information flows between services
Let the surveys select which services should be used
Let the information objects be the focal point for the orchestration mechanism
Use BAM (Business activity monitoring) for supplying a process status overview
Implement a combination of process-, information- and utility-oriented services
Encapsulate existing process oriented systems or create new services
Services is something the business side should understand (can contain applications, webservices, databases etc)
Surveys configure pre-deployed services - no service release when adding surveys in the platform
Use SOA principles (Thomas Erl) for design
Create a process dashboard
Provide capabilities for controlling and monitoring the progress
Invite all people working with a specific survey and assign them roles
Roles should automatically translate to the right level of access in the dashboard and the services
Implement a smart quality assurance mechanism in the dashboard
Invest in datawarehouse solutions for manageing data
Create data warehouses for all "steady states"
Cornerstone in survey harmonization program
Version control on everything
