New WSO2 White Paper Examines Best Practices for Application Services Governance(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) February 06, 2014 Increasingly, enterprises are adopting application services governance to achieve business agility, build a responsive IT organization, and optimize IT effectiveness. Solid governance automates IT best practices, improves service levels, and facilitates safe, rapid iterations. To support this effort, WSO2 has published a new white paper that discusses best practices for evolving IT systems with application services governance. Evolving IT Systems with Application Services Governance The white paper, "Application Services Governance: Automate IT Best Practices and Enforce Effective and Safe Application Service Delivery,” was written by WSO2 Vice President of Platform Evangelism Chris Haddad. The paper begins by reviewing a governance road map, focusing on four main concentration areas: enforcing service level agreements (SLA) and policy management, establishing collaborative governance, forging safe and rapid iterations, and analyzing compliance and delivery improvement. It then examines how IT professionals can enhance governance practices by remixing skills, tooling and processes. The paper also discusses how teams can adopt agile processes, introduce automation tooling, and streamline collaboration. The paper next explores how application services governance spans services, APIs, and applications. It then describes governance initiatives for unifying service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance, API governance, application governance, security governance, development governance, and infrastructure governance into a comprehensive and interconnected DevOps perspective.
