Abstract
1. Introduction
Many
organizations
are
adapting
and
transforming their business processes and IT systems
to meet new challenges and respond to customer
demands. To support this transformation many of them
have already started SOA initiatives and have
implemented or are implementing SOA-based systems.
The promise of cost-efficiency, agility, adaptability
and legacy leverage has attracted many organizations
to try the SOA approach and in many cases make
substantial investments in new systems that are based
on SOA.
As organizations begin work on their SOA
initiatives there are various types of projects that they
may undertake. Organizations have to determine what
is involved in each of these projects i.e. determine their
