Patent ID: 8024397

Claim:
A system for building a repository of services using a target services roadmap, the system comprising: a processor; a first module controlling the processor to receive from a user a first identification of an implemented service and a second identification of at least one target service included in a service oriented architecture repository and associated with the target services roadmap, the target services roadmap defining a group of target services not yet implemented that an organization desires to implement; a second module controlling the processor to map the implemented service to the at least one target service based on the target services roadmap; and a third module controlling the processor to update the service oriented architecture repository by including the implemented service mapped to the at least one target service; and a fourth module controlling the processor to iteratively receive an additional identification of additional implemented services, map the additional implemented services to the at least one target service to yield mapped additional implemented services, and update the service oriented architecture repository with the mapped additional implemented services until the target services roadmap is complete.
