Slide 3: 1. A retail catalog companys printing and mailing expenses are growing much more rapidly than revenue. Each time they update their database, they ship more catalogs and customers call in with more corrections. Which evaluation and recommendation should the SOA Designer make? A. Data quality is low. Master data management should be installed to cleanse and maintain data quality both from data sources and updates from the call center. B. Third party mail lists are inconsistent. Use process modeling to identify when multiple records are created and how multiple catalogs get printed. Then use process simulation to optimize new processes. C. Processes do not incorporate data cleansing. Create an information service that retrieves similar records and displays them in a portlet, so operators can see multiple records and work with the customer to eliminate them. D. Data entry is a very common source of error and customers are often inconsistent as well. Operator generated updates should be re-implemented to the indirect exposure solution pattern to separate data entry from record update permitting a data cleansing step in the update processes.

Slide 7: A. By building an SOA with a secure connectivity layer, they could quickly enable the mortgage broker channel to use their applications without any changes to the legacy system. B. They could reduce the cost to develop new applications needed for each independent broker by reusing services as integration code that is written for each broker's system to expedite development. C. By service enabling the legacy applications and offering a Web-based portal for independent brokers, they can minimize the impact to existing channels, minimize changes to existing code, and quickly create an offering for the new channel. D. By implementing security and governance as part of an SOA deployment, they can control access to the current system to determine which brokers are using the system and personalize their marketing to the high usage brokers. Answer: C 12. An engineering services company is being asked by its customers to provide solutions that cross Line of Business (LOB) areas. Each LOB is independent and is measured on its own profitability. The Chief Operating Officer plans to make some organizational changes. How could SOA enable this business transformation? A.

A. A custom messaging solution could provide performance advantages if development priority is allocated to provide standards-based connectors and adapters for business partners to connect. B. XML messages can be transformed at wire speed using Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) appliances like WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance, so it is not necessary to be concerned with that part of the system's performance. C. Total cost of ownership will increase with custom middleware. Open standards-based commercial messaging products are more interoperable, extensible, scalable, replaceable, and reliable than custom-built systems. D. It will take a serious commitment to detailed technical support to make this happen. It is always a tradeoff between standards-based compliance and performance. The implementation of the custom messaging will need to provide serious performance advantages to business partners. Answer: C 15.
