Conclusion

This document covering the BIAN design principles and techniques is intended to provide business and systems architects with an explanation of the approaches BIAN has developed in order to define canonical SOA designs for the financial services industry (with initial focus on banking). It contains all of the current approaches used and under discussion within BIAN at the time of publication.

The document is a working document that will continue to be updated as BIAN refines these design principles and techniques based on practical experience and feedback from the membership and others in the industry. BIAN published these design principles in order to encourage an active debate on a practical approach to develop canonical SOA designs that can support the industry.
