This article tries to provide you with an understanding of how you could make use of WSO2 Governance Registry to govern your enterprise assets with an easy set of steps. This feature was made available on WSO2 Governance Registry 4.1.1 version, and is called Configurable Artifact Governance.

My self and Ajith( who is a Software Engineer at WSO2 - at the time of post) did a series of Webinars to make the users aware of this new cool feature that enables them to model, manage and governance their enterprise assets such as People, Organizations, Processes and etc effectively and efficiently apart from the assets we provide out-of-the-box such as Services, WSDLs. Schemas and Policies.

You can find out more about these Webinars at,

* Initial preview Webinar of the new feature we did in August 2011.
