Atlantis University is an ambitious e-learning project employing new pedagogical research to develop an e-learning system, currently the system has many heterogeneous applications in its portfolio that need to be integrated into one online based portal, the use of SOA is proposed to integrate the systems together. SOA is very complex to implement, it needs a completely new framework and strategy. Other more technical issues surround lack of maturity and some issues regarding performance. With regards to the Atlantis project the following needs to be considered:- What evaluation and feasibility studies can be carried out on Atlantis; An in depth analysis of the Atlantis applications and potential business processes and bottlenecks; How can the overall SOA project be managed; The project concludes that a SOA management committee be setup and distinctly more work in business process needs to be carried out.
