EXHIBIT 1.1 SERVICE-ORIENTED ANALYSIS ITERATIONS
The sections that follow depict an iterative process of service analysis during which an ex-
amination of a service and its hosting environment is conducted to achieve distinct analysis goals.
Inception Analysis Iteration: Analyze Prior to Service Proposition. The analysis process that is
pursued before a service has been proposed is driven by strategic imperatives that call for investigat-
ing the state of the business, tracing events that have influenced business execution, and identifying
the chief concerns of an organization. This venture typically occurs before or at some point in the
inception phase of a project, during which ideas are gathered and discussions take place to establish
a firm direction for addressing problems and identifying motivations for instituting services. Fur-
thermore, an analysis session that is performed before a service begins its life cycle or during its
inception stage is typically dedicated to founding service concepts that eventually will materialize
and be transformed into tangible services.
Assessment Analysis Iteration: Analyze after Service Proposition. Once a service has been pro-
posed and a solution is at hand, a different analysis iteration can begin. This is the time to study
business requirements and learn about a software product description, features, attributes, and ca-
pabilities. However, if a technological proposition advocates creation of a service and expanding its
operating environment, technical specifications should be studied and analyzed. This may include
the inspection of service design and architecture artifacts and analysis of the introduced technolog-
ical landscape. Therefore, the assessment of the proposed business or technical solutions should be
focused on a service’s feasibility to rectify an organizational concern and offer practical remedies.
Verification Analysis Iteration: Analyze after Service Construction. Once a service has been con-
tracted, it should be analyzed to assess the quality of its capabilities, functionality, and operations.
