The Open Group's Architect Certification Programs by Leonard Fehskens Contents IntroductionThe Open Group Architecture FrameworkA New IT Architect CertificationAccredited Certification ProgramsBoard Review Certification ProcessRequirementsRecertificationBenefits of CertificationMore Information Introduction How do you know if someone is really an architect? This has become an increasingly important question as the context and nature of information systems have evolved into their present forms. Many people have come to believe that the discipline of architecture is a powerful tool to address this daunting challenge. The Open Group Architecture Framework The Open Group, a consortium of IT vendors and users, was formed in 1996 by the merger of X/Open and the Open Software Foundation (OSF). The certification of IT architects benefits three constituencies: There are two ways an architect can become TOGAF certified: by taking TOGAF certified training, or by passing a TOGAF-certified examination.

Architecture in practice, Part 1: Realizing Service-Oriented Architecture Introduction As a practicing executive IT architect at IBM, Tilak Mitra consults with IBM customers to help them develop and implement SOA. In the "Architecture in Practice" column, Tilak shares his experiences with you to help you translate the theory of IT architecture -- and especially SOA -- into practice. Any burning architectural issues you'd like help with? Contact Tilak tmitra@us.ibm.com and perhaps he will devote a future installment in his column to your issue. Back to top Overview Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) means different things to different people. Key to a working SOA system is appropriate conceptualization and identification of the business services that will make up the system. The service's potential for business alignmentIts composabilityIts potential for reusabilityIts technical viability for realization These are some of the essential foundational concepts on which the services in an SOA-based enterprise architecture are modeled and designed. The SOA life cycle
Architecture in practice, Part 2: An introduction to SOA solution scenarios Introduction In the first article of this series, you learned about the IBM SOA Foundation life cycle (the SOA life cycle) and how you can use IBM tools and technologies to deploy an SOA-based solution and manage the life cycle of services. You learned about the four phases that constitute the IBM SOA life cycle: ModelAssembleDeployManage Collectively, these phases can be referred to by the acronym MADM. The SOA life cycle helps you to organize a project plan around the four phases and the activities and tasks that constitute them. IBM organizes these scenarios around five distinct yet interrelated entry points that help enterprises get started and succeed with SOA. Each of the entry points includes one or more of the scenarios, which in turn provides a roadmap for implementing the entry points. The scenarios fall into two categories: functional or supporting. The functional scenarios are the following: The supporting and cross-cutting scenarios are the following: Back to top Figure 1.
New to SOA and web services Whether you are an IT architect, a developer, or an administrator or you just want to find out more about what SOA is and how it can help your organization, you can learn a lot by following along in this article as JK Enterprises, a fictional company, goes through the process of implementing SOA solutions. First, let's take a general look at SOA and the method IBM offers to help you adopt SOA solutions and advance them if you've already started. Introduction: Aligning IT with your business, increasing business agility Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an IT architectural style that supports the transformation of your business into a set of linked services, or repeatable business tasks, that can be accessed when needed over a network. When SOA implementation is guided by strategic business goals, you ensure the positive transformation of your business and can realize the chief benefits on an SOA, as follows: Alignment of IT with the businessMaximal reuse of IT assets SOA entry points
