Imagine that the service-oriented business integration is all about finding the proper architectural
view. If no match is found, continue searching for appropriate ???windows??? until the right
one for the organization??™s services appears. Note that this alignment approach suggests employing
business architecture perspectives to enable service integration with grassroots business imperatives.
Thus, it is ill-advised to integrate services with any particular applications or concrete
implementations in production. Therefore, start the integration process with the architecture perspectives
provided by the organization.
Services should be lined up with two major business architecture perspective groups:
??? Contextual perspective category. Contextual perspectives depict business imperatives
and architecture requirements dictated by the organization??™s business model and strategies,
such as core organizational products, market and client segmentation, and business
planning. They tackle intrinsic questions, such as What do we sell? To whom do we sell?
and How do we generate revenue?
??? Structural perspective category. These business architecture perspectives depict the
various segments of the organization known as business domains. Domains present the
organization??™s lines of business, occupation, products, departments, divisions, and even
geographical locations. For example, small-business banking division, individual investment
products, and loan systems are examples of banking industry domains.
