Why outsource?

When service-oriented architecture services are in-sourced, the associated tasks are usually performed by one highly experienced architect, who is subsequently required to perform multiple repetitive administrative and support tasks. The result is an ineffective use of resources. Outsourcing frees this individual to focus on creating architectural deliverables that add value to the business.

Satisfying service-oriented architecture customer-needs with products of real business value, promotes the growth and sustainability of a business-appropriate service-oriented architecture practice. Outsourcing services help to do this by providing:

• Effective strategic leadership and management of the service-oriented architecture practice;
• Effective tactical management of service-oriented architecture customer requirements; and
• The ability to provide service-oriented architecture services specific to business needs, through agility and speed of delivery
