"One of the first and most challenging steps in your SOA Project is to build the project team with required resources and skill; you need to identify who is involved in the SOA project. SAP can provide you will Platform, applications on top of this platform; various development tools required for building Composite Applications but we still need people intervention in order to make the process working. Less and Less people intervention required in order to make it working but let's leave it to the separate discussion.

More and more organisations are interesting in building their SOA roadmap and moving forward into the implementation phase. At the end of the day, this is what makes their business more competitive and agile. Unfortunately, most companies do not have enough skills yet in order to move forward with their SOA vision and most of them think that a lot time requiredto up-skill and train the people. To appropriately structure an SOA project, you need to consider that these roles might need to evolve to match the SOA concept or even create some new roles that did not exist before. I personally believe that this process can be done quite easily if you select the right approach and strategy."
