Developing an article around Service Oriented Solutions has taken me longer than I thought ... so I've decided to post this presentation on Building Solutions Using SOA. This presentation provides:

An overview of the basic components of a Service Oriented Architecture,
A description of the main features of a solution built using SOA ideas and, finally
A description of the typical steps in a project used to build a solution using SOA.

All the examples are primarily based around financial services although in principle they could apply to any industry.

This web site is under (re)development! I have already published some articles and papers on using web services for business that you can find listed on the right hand pane. You might want to take a look at - the paper on Business Web Services Scorecard, for example. It was my "state of the nation" on where Web Services Standards were around April 2003. They haven't progressed much since that time, as progress seems to be very slow in standards these days. So I think it is still a good overview of what's going on in this space - let me know what you think. I also hope to update the paper before too long ... ... but that won't be until after I've put up some new articles I've just started working on with the theme of Service Oriented Solutions. Their objective is to provide practical guidance for building real workable "solutions" and applications following a "Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)" approach using Web Services technology.
