SOA Maturity Assessment

SOA Maturity Grid

SOA Assessment Findings


SOA Maturity Grid

• Background information for people conducting the maturity assessment

• Use it to understand the characteristics of each maturity level across each enabler

• Lists characteristics by SOA enabler and maturity level

• Capabilities categorized by enabler ‘focus area’

• Review as preparation for assessment

Maturity Grid Worksheet.xls


Internal Assessment Methodology

• Targeted to Oracle teams conducting SOA Readiness Assessments

• Provides assessment guidelines for:• Preparation• Conducting Assessment• Interpreting results• Building deliverables

Assessment Methodology document


SOA Assessment Findings

• Template for creating a customer specific deliverable• Body contains boilerplate and placeholders• Appendix contains boilerplate for replacing

placeholders• Include assessment summary tab “spider chart” or

edited slide bar chart

Assessment Findings Contents• Meaning and Importance of SOA Maturity

Praise for Oracle’s Roadmap to SOA:

The assessment of our maturity as an organization and the key items to improve were very helpful.

It highlighted some of our planned actions which we have not formally announced and now formally needed, plus introduced new items we had not considered.

It helped us frame the successful deployment of SOA, not just BPEL.
