This document discusses establishing a Center of Excellence (CoE) to support enterprise SOA adoption. It outlines the stages of SOA adoption from exploration to broad adoption. A CoE provides expertise, best practices, and support across all domains to successfully drive SOA adoption. The CoE grows and evolves alongside the maturing SOA program. Key technologies like governance, quality management, and operational tools enable the CoE to effectively support the business in planning, building, and operating SOA.
