and technological functionality that each participating service contributes to the solution. We then
continue with an analysis process that both validates the practicality of our services and explores
service reusability, loose coupling, and asset consolidation opportunities.
Service Analysis Modeling. The analysis modeling activity concludes the service-oriented discovery
and analysis process. The provided language is employed to facilitate a service analysis
proposition diagram that captures aggregated and distributed service formations and identifies a
collaborative service process scheme that proposes a solution to a problem that is being addressed.
This modeling process fosters reuse of organizational software assets by utilizing enterprise legacy
software and even organizational concepts represented by conceptual services.
SERVICE-ORIENTED BUSINESS INTEGRATION. A service-oriented business integration process
is a discipline that should be practiced continuously throughout the service development life
cycle. This is an ongoing activity that assures a close tie between the business and technology
organizations. Most important, it fosters alignment between technological direction and an enterprise??™s

conclusions were straightforward: To enable efficient integration between business and technology
initiatives, enterprise business architecture practices must exist.
