PITTSBURGH -- LogicLibrary[R], a leader in design-time SOA governance Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) governance is a concept used for activities related to exercising control over services in a SOA.

This is one of the benefits of object technology. See object-oriented programming. , today announced the introduction of SOA FastPath[TM]. SOA FastPath leverages the knowledge and data that LogicLibrary Professional Services has acquired over multiple years of guiding organizations with their initial SOA deployments and the subsequent engagements that drove the maturation of these deployments.

While organizations may realize the inherent value of SOA and the need for a design-time repository and associated SOA governance, they often struggle with how to get started - what governance processes to use, how and when to report to management, and the myriad of other details that must be decided upon. To address these issues, LogicLibrary has created SOA FastPath built upon Logidex[TM] coupled with pre-configured SOA Logidex templates, this product delivers everything an enterprise needs for a successful design-time SOA governance strategy. SOA FastPath will enable enterprises to quickly establish the value Logidex will produce for their SOA initiatives through best-of-breed capabilities provided directly out of the box. Project results can then be communicated via the imbedded ROI and Success Metrics reports. SOA FastPath serves as a "force multiplier" for architecture teams, both by delivering the key architects, best practices, patterns and other knowledge assets necessary to build an effective SOA and by automating the governance processes. Additionally, enterprises can gain practical, in-house knowledge of field tested SOA concepts and learn how to best apply them to their unique business and IT environments. SOA FastPath demonstrates the benefits of reusing services from one business process to the next, enabling IT to deliver business applications faster and less expensively. "It became apparent that as the SOA market matures and as enterprises struggle to quickly prove the value of their SOA projects, there was an opportunity to combine our field tested expertise with the existing Logidex pre-loaded content. SOA FastPath provides the information every enterprise software architect, engineer and IT manager needs to rapidly understand the technical and business impact and value of their SOA project," indicated Alan Himler, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
