Moreover, the modeling process involves two
major stakeholders, the problem and the solution domain organizations, typically managed by
business and IT personnel that partner in an array of business and technological initiatives, such
as a small project or a large service life cycle venture that may include a number of smaller
projects.
The involvement of two major stakeholder groups is anticipated, each of which represents
a different perspective; they are both vital contributors to a service-oriented modeling
effort. In addition, they must collaborate and jointly facilitate alignment between business and
IT organizations. Exhibit 1.3 illustrates these two major views that collaboratively contribute to
the service-oriented modeling process: the business view and the technological view. Note the
overseeing governance and Center of Excellence bodies that drive modeling activities.
