The Banks will never use the cloud!

Oh no! We live in a …multi-sourced

Software + Service (Hybrid Cloud) World and we didn’t know it!

But hold isn’t SOA dead? Didn’t SOA fail

to deliver a ROI?

Anyway we’re too silo’d and project and opportunity driven to consider adding cloud

to the mix!

But the problem isn’t with SOA it’s with the

SOA Junkies

They think too much like Adam Smith with his division of labour and Henry Ford with his assembly line!

They’re too Task oriented

They think of Separation of

Concerns, abstractions, and ah … yes Re-Use, the

holy grail of Re-use!

How many times have we tried to deliver the “Single view of the

Customer?”

These approaches breed complexity and

like the forth bridge, never end, adding little

if any business value

The problem is the approach is based on

technology principles

instead of the principles of

business!

We need to look above the “HOW we do it”.

Above the layers of people, process and

technology

And at the “WHAT we do” – the Business Capabilities. These

are stable, self-contained,

measurable and value-oriented

So let’s step back and ask what is the

Enterprise?

Enterprise Capability Heat Maps tell you

what’s important and if it’s healthy or not

Capabilities allow you to decompose the

enterprise into discrete self contained

units of specialisation

In this way you can unlock a new strategy. One that is

Service Centric

And take advantage of the

multi-sourced Software + Service

(Hybrid Cloud) we live in.

Don’t believe me? Well Just ask the banks …
