What is Governance?

What is Governance?

• Governance is the act of governing, which relates to decisions that:

– define expectations– grant power– or verify performance

• It consists of either a separate process or part of management or leadership processes

• If so, what are we working on?


• Simplification of Discovery of AssetsMaking it easy for you to find your service across multiple repositories and service containersIn other words, everything related to a service (technical information, lifecycle, SLA/QoS aspects, analytics, business aspects) will be reachable from a central place


• A single continuous LifecycleCovers all aspects of design, development and deliveryInterconnection of one product/solution to another with a proper predefined (but customizable) flowFirst-class support for all WSO2 products where a user has to do the least in terms of integrationExtensible APIs and plug-points to provide the same level of experience even with third-party products


• Aggregation of operations across multiple assetsOne click policy enforcement/update across multiple Web Services, ESB artifacts and Business ProcessesLifecycle transitions for multiple assets


• Aggregation of operations across multiple assetsOne click policy enforcement/update across multiple Web Services, ESB artifacts and Business ProcessesLifecycle transitions for multiple assets

• Not limited to SOAAbility to Govern any type of asset (ex:- Gadgets, Mobile Applications)

How different is Governance 2.0?A set of individual Products




How different is Governance 2.0?A series of different UIs




How different is Governance 2.0?Governance becomes hard to implement


• Design, Implementation, Deployment, Information, and Consumption of the Asset is spread across many products

• Discontinuation of Lifecycle at product boundaries• Due to this, it is impossible to perform aggregate

operations involving multiple assets• And, makes governance different from asset to asset


• For example, Service Governance and API Management were two separate processes in the past



• There were similarities and connection points, and some information was shared




• Yet, the implementations were not integrated and there was not interconnection

How different is Governance 2.0?We have identified these issues and found solutions



• Yet, the implementations were not integrated and there was not interconnection


• We realize that SOA Governance and API Management are not isolated but integrated



• Others feel the same too



• Others feel the same too• Read: http://www.gartner.com/id=2571325

• A centralized User Interface providing and integrated experience despite the use of multiple products



• A continuous lifecycle spanning across different products in different stages of development made possible through interconnected APIs




• Aggregated operations involving multiple assets at the same time




• Aggregated operations involving multiple assets at the same time

And, that is what we are working on
