Washington State: SOA Design and Ontology 

Washington State: SOA Design and Ontology 

In our initial engagement, we did a rapid but detailed review of 200 applications, interfaces,  current initiatives, long-range plan, and a new system being proposed. We found several  areas where they could leverage work in progress to speed up their new project initiative,  and several areas where, with a slight change in scope and priority, the new initiatives  would actually reduce the amount of redundancy and inconsistency.  

We helped them build a high-fidelity depiction of their current “as-is” state. The content from an existing, unread 400-page report was rendered, and massively updated, to a very large graphic of the as-is condition. We then worked with them to define their long-term  SOA architecture with shared services.
