This adaptation requires changes in the management model, strong alignment with the business and new IT consultant profile. The concept of Business Process Management (BPM) and the concept of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been the way solution providers companies for integrated business management applications (ERP Systems) have adopted to enable Process-oriented management model. This new methodology requires a new way of implementing ERP Systems, based on business alignment, process integration and a new profile for IT consultants is demanded. With the integrated use of BPM/SOA approach, organizations can define and optimize business process to implement software systems able to perform the orchestration of their activities for a improved competitiveness in the market place / Com o surgimento de novos modelos de gestão empresarial com empresas orientadas a processos, a área de Tecnologia da Informação tem sido desafiada a adaptar-se a esse novo contexto, provendo o negócio com sistemas equivalemente desenhados e orientados a esse novo modelo de gestão. O conceito de Gerenciamento de Processo de Negócio (Business Process Management - BPM) alinhado ao conceito de orientação a serviços (Service Oriented Architecture SOA) é a forma pela qual as empresas desenvolvedoras de sistemas integrados de gestão empresarial (ERP) identificaram como a solução para fazer com que esses sistemas possibilitem a gestão dos processos de negócio. Essa nova metodologia requer mudanças na forma de implementação dos sistemas ERP, maior alinhamento com as áreas de negócio e novos perfis de profissionais para a sua utilização. A partir da utilização dos conceitos BPM e SOA de forma integrada, as organizações podem desenhar seus processos e implementar sistemas que o suportem utilizando uma abordagem que execute a orquestração das atividades da empresa na busca de torná-la mais flexível, agil para inovações e com essas características favorecer sua competitividade

The thesis is focused on administration and supervision of Service oriented architecture (SOA). The main idea of SOA is system decomposition to functional units, which contain bounded and well understandable functionality. This functionality, in form of service, is provided to other units through clearly described interface. Well-identified relationships between service provider and service consumer are created. SOA governance aims to manage these relationships, to monitor quality of services and to control adherence of stated rules and policies. These rules and policies are established by central team responsible for integration and architecture development. Starting point of successful architecture development is acquaintance of service portfolio and their inter-relationships. Each service should go through whole formal life-cycle, which particular phases have special policies applied. Main interest is devoted to run-time phase - run-time monitoring and run-time governance. Theory is complemented by practical examples of report generation and service monitoring with SLA adherence observation. The thesis also contains structural model of SOA governance taking into account infrastructural elements of SOA and information flows between them.
