Despite all of the articles and books on the topic, companies today are no more effective at delivering on large-scale change initiatives than they were 20 years ago. In a recent survey, 70% of the companies said their change management initiatives did not deliver the expected results. That success rate was unchanged from similar surveys conducted in the 1980's and 1990's. And the environment for change is only getting more complex. Read more ....... |

| The Missing Opinion |
| Written by Colin Whickman | |

Recently I received an e-mail invite to a webinar, "SOA & the Insurance Industry: Voice of the Experts." The event was organized by InfoWorld, and included speakers from the TowerGroup, BEA, and Zurich Financial Services. Naturally, my interest was aroused.
I watched the webinar, and there was a lot of good information. I noticed there was someone missing from the discussion. I have been working in the insurance industry for twenty-two years, and the biggest challenge has been involving business users. We do not hear enough from the business user.
If you do a search for SOA and insurance on the web, you will find plenty of articles and presentations by information technology people. You will be hard-pressed to find anything by the business user. A ‘mid office’ administration system is the heart of an insurance company. It is much more than connecting some services or being a presence on the web. It is the embodiment of a set of business rules, processes and a repository of information vital to the running of an insurance company.
Surely a significant contributing factor to a successful SOA project is the connection between business users and information technology users, not the way the services are connected. |
