Moving to a Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) requires evolving practices and strategies in addition to the right set of tools and solutions, according to Mindreef and ZapThink, LLC. The companies have entered a partnership to combine ZapThink’s research advisory focused on building and maturing sustainable SOA practices with Mindreef’s SOAPscope SOA Quality solutions to help establish SOA in the enterprise.

The move to SOA requires new best practices and policies from a central architect group, together with the correct quality infrastructure that ensures policy compliance and fosters trust and quality for new services.

The three key areas of SOA Quality that will be focused in the combined offering include:

* Advisory and Implementation for Setting up SOA Councils / Centres of Excellence

* Advisory and Implementation of Design-time Governance

* Establishing Trust — An Elusive Element of SOA
