Certified SOA Governance Specialist

SOA Governance Specialists are competent in developing, implementing, and maintaining SOA governance strategies and plans in support of SOA initiative goals. It is recognized that Certified SOA Governance Specialists possess the proficiency to define, establish, and evolve governance frameworks, principles, and processes to support the organizational and technological requirements of SOA governance. Knowledge of how governance rules, policies, and practices are incorporated within SOA initiatives and how they are separate from management and methodology yet still related is required to qualify as an expert in this field.
