SOA and NGOSS Contracts: A Practical Approach to Integration
Many service providers are achieving success by applying the best practices of NGOSS to their IT transformation projects.

You can use these standards and concepts to build a service oriented architecture (SOA) to help meet your IT Transformation goals.
