“A good governance framework provides three main benefits all which lead to increased enterprise confidence in the IT Department’s ability to deliver upon the promise of SOA. 1) Full utilization of services (e.g. SOA processes) because they are known and accessible to other developers within the organization which results in improved ROI, 2) Predictable performance (i.e. no high volume glitches or expensive underutilization) and 3) Prevention of security breaches and/or methods to detect or trace any potential breaches.”
