Forrester analyst Ken Vollmer and David Penney, SOA Strategist
for Vitria Technology, discuss why every Service Oriented Architecture
and large scale integration project must pay close attention to
exception management. The hidden cost of loosely coupled enterprise-wide
services architecture is identified, quantified and the solution that
has automated the resolution of up to 85% of exceptions is described in
detail. Together they will show how a comprehensive governance program
benefits greatly from an effective exception management capability. In
fact, any large, technically successful, SOA and integration project may
bring a company to the brink of disaster as the number of separate
software components results in a dramatic increase in the number of
exceptions.
