With Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), businesses can manage and implement projects to reuse the service portfolio and achieve compliance. CDS provides SOA Governance solutions that help organizations develop principles and policies that align SOA projects with enterprise transformation strategies.

Our SOA governance solutions involve interaction between decision makers, policies and processes; and, they become an extension to the IT Governance and Enterprise Governance framework.
