EasySOA is a lightweight SOA governance solution that provides a non-intrusive layer over existing SOA implementations to improve governance. It utilizes a collaborative document management platform like Nuxeo to store SOA models, specifications, and other documents. This includes business concepts, technical specifications of services, and deployment information. It also facilitates automated discovery of services and their documentation from code to integrate information from multiple teams. EasySOA aims to improve visibility and sharing of SOA assets without burdening teams with new tools or processes.

4. SOA – STATE OF THE ART
Information Systems, getting open and interconnected…
Growing awareness in Information Systems
Democratization of message and data exchanges
Acknowledgement of architectural best practices
…however…
SOA projects are complex
►
►
►
►
Different actors with different concerns & profiles (Business vs Technical)
Technology heterogeneity (risk management)
Different partners (internal vs external services)
Not much knowledge sharing on how things are done
Exigences
SOA needs are not always well understood
►
►
A lot of services have been forgotten and are
waiting to be woken up

8. EASYSOA – GOALS
To ease up SOA governance…
Add a lighter, non-intrusive layer over « traditional » SOA in order
to provide governance overview
Minimal changes on existing services and applications to maximize
extracted value (documentation, practices, uses)
Service quality analysis for SOA sanitization
Agile approach through extracted as well as collaborative
documentation and prototyping
Fosters emergence and evaluation of best and most urgent needs
to be implemented next using existing « traditional » SOA
Version management and impact analysis of service changes
(internal or external) on business processes
…to secure and optimize exchanges between services of
the entreprise and its partners
Open Wide Technologies l Janvier 2013

9. THE EASYSOA PLATFORM
A light, non-intrusive solution
An additional, non-intrusive layer over the entreprise’s
SOA allowing for Web tools that ease up gathering and
analysis of existing services, as well as developing simple
new services using scripting, RAD or Point-and-Click.
Light
Core
Integration
« Traditional » SOA
Middleware
architecture
A consistent multimedia registry aggregating all
information, coming from automated extraction as well
as manual input by SOA actors, in a Document
Management (DM) solution and its indexed database,
for easy high
volume information management
through the Web.
An ecosystem of solutions and extensions
allowing for compatibility with a large range of
« traditional » SOA architectures to further
empower them : business process modeling
and execution, monitoring…
The entreprise’s SOA architecture, built on
« traditional » and well-known solutions is not
impacted by using EasySOA

12. USE CASE
ANCV (National Agency for Holiday Vouchers)
2 differents businesses, done by separate entities, each with
its own Information System (IS)
►
►
Selling holiday vouchers, by the DCV entity
Funding holidays for underpriviledged people, by the DPS entity
DPS has now decided for its IS to go beyond spreadsheets
►
This use case is the real story of DPS IT being built from the ground
up, rewritten with EasySOA Registry, Talend ESB and OW2 Jasmine.
Existing applications
►
►
SI DCV – Pivotal : management of ANCV social partners. Customized
MS .NET web CRM.
Uniserv : online address checking service
New applications : SI DPS – APV
►
Management of « holiday projects ». Subcontracted Java web
business application. Has to connect with Pivotal, using services. 2013

they won’t use ? => integrate EasySOA within their own, a few ideas :
Business design tool, such as Eclipse JWT
Rapid online

prototyping in the
Cloud, such as
FraSCAti Studio
up to full BPM solution, such
as OW2 Scarbo 2

discover and register them
record and replay them
play alternative exchanges suggested
through correlation
generate simulations or assertions
trigger other services
