Governance

This 3 part webinar series will take you through a detailed discussion of the WSO2 Governance Registry’s Configurable Governance Artifacts.

Enterprises look for governance solutions that can help manage their people, processes, and policies. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance brings the arsenal of tools and frameworks that help developers and administrators to more effectively and efficiently manage these aspects of the enterprise. In his WSO2Con 2011 session, Senaka discussed the key concepts of SOA governance, how to incorporate governance in the enterprise, and how the WSO2 Governance Registry can help manage application development, testing and deployment processes, as well as service lifecycles and assets. Here are highlights from his talk.

He is a member of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), and also a Project Management Committee (PMC) member and committer for a number of projects at the ASF. Senaka founded WSO2 WSF/C++ during his internship at WSO2 in 2008.

Since 2010, Russia has been implementing an e-government initiative, “Electronic Russia.” The goal of this initiative is to create and integrate the information systems of different government authorities and enable online data exchange. In support of this effort, the Saint-Petersburg Information and Analytics Center has built an open source integration layer to link together the government agencies’ many legacy systems. In her presentation at WSO2Con, Ms. Belkina described the objectives and challenges of the e-Government initiative, as well as the combination of home-grown software, WSO2 middleware, and other open source software used to implement the integration layer. Here are highlights from her talk.

Since 2007 Maria Belkina has been working as a Java Programmer for an organization which is commited into developing software for e-Government not only in Saint-Petersburg, but in other parts of the country, too. Last year she started working as a project manager on a project that aims to create a fully functional infrastructure for providing state services to citizens on-line and integrating various information systems that are involved in these processes.

Governance is part and parcel of rapidly evolving businesses. It is critical that you have the right processes and policies in place to ensure the smooth running of your business in a rapidly reshaping eco-system. Governance is not only about monitoring and managing your services once they have been developed. It is also about developing them right, and meeting stakeholder expectations.

User customization and extending functionality is a key ingredient of WSO2’s product stack. The WSO2 Governance Registry is one such product that enables users to extend existing functionality by adding custom features. In such scenarios users are provided with extending API s such as Handlers, Filters and Aspects.

Enterprise Assets are the most important components of a modern business. Modeling, managing, and monitoring your assets is key to succeeding a dynamically reshaping business landscape. The ability to keep track of your key assets and ensure that they deliver the best returns on your investment is the most fundamental capability that any governance tool must provide.

Governance has become a crucial component of most modern enterprises. Having the right tools is as important as having the right people, processes and policies. Proper Service Governance is a fundamental requirement in fighting against the uncertainty and risk set forth by the constant change and evolution of a rapidly changing business ecosystem.
