An approach that constructs a service oriented architecture (SOA) shared service is provided. In one embodiment, there is a service construction tool, including an input component configured to receive design input for a SOA shared service solution; and a construction component configured to construct a SOA shared service based on the design input for the SOA shared service solution.

Constructing a service oriented architecture shared service

An approach that transitions to management of a service oriented architecture (SOA) shared service is provided. In one embodiment, there is a service transition tool, including a project component configured to provide a SOA shared service developed as part of a SOA shared services project, and a planning component configured to plan a transition from development of the SOA shared service to management of the SOA shared service.

Transitioning to management of a service oriented architecture shared service

An approach that selects a service oriented architecture (SOA) shared service is provided. In one embodiment, there is a service selection tool, including an input component configured to gather service requirements of a SOA shared service project; an identification component configured to identify a set of candidate SOA shared services that meets the service requirements of the SOA shared services project; an analysis component configured to compare the set of candidate SOA shared services to a set of technical and business requirements, and select a set of SOA shared services from the set of candidate SOA shared services for construction based on a comparison of the set of candidate SOA shared services to the set of technical and business requirements.

Selecting a service oriented architecture shared service

An approach for designing a service specific service oriented architecture (SOA) shared services solution is provided. In one embodiment, there is a service solution tool, including a refinement component configured to receive a set of service requirements for a set of SOA shared services that are developed as part of a potential SOA shared services project, and refine the set of service requirements for the set of SOA shared services. A design component is configured to design a service specific SOA shared services solution based on a refined set of service requirements for the set of service requirements for the set of SOA shared services.

Service specific service oriented architecture shared services solution

An approach that manages a service oriented architecture (SOA) shared service is provided. In one embodiment, there is a service management tool, including an identification component configured to identify a SOA shared service that needs to be revised; and a revision component configured to develop a revision procedure to address the SOA shared service that needs to be revised, and implement the revision procedure for the SOA shared service.
