If you want to take practical steps toward implementing or improving an SOA initiative, you're not alone. SOA might seem like a simple idea at first sight, but to deliver real long-term and sustainable value from SOA you need to get to grips with a raft of technical, organisational and cultural issues. But the good news is that by coming here, you're starting in the right place.Understand your competency levels.This free-of-charge online tool starts with a detailed self-assessment which will guide you through six areas of competency. With the information you provide, the tool will calculate your competency levels and show you where you need to improve.See how you compare.When the tool calculates your results from your self-assessment, it will show you how your competency levels compare with the average benchmark - informing you how far ahead of (or behind) your competitors and peers you're likely to be.Get targeted advice.For a modest fee, you can purchase premium access to the tool, which enables you to download a personalised "action plan", generated based on your responses and our SOA insights and expertise. The action plan contains more detailed and personalised benchmark data, but more importantly also explains some practical actions you can take to improve your competency levels.
What's more, this isn't a one-shot opportunity. We recognise that SOA initiatives are long-term commitments and your situation and competency levels will change over time - so your premium access purchase enables you to generate and download as many personalised action plans as you like, whenever you like.Ready to start?Login on the right to begin, or register if you haven't already done so.
