Title: The Business Case for Service Oriented Architecture
Author: David Sprott
Publication Date: 17 November 2004
Report Type: Journal
Report Class: Best Practice
Abstract: In this report we present the business case and argue that SOA is a powerful tool for business reengineering, and that it is essential for senior business managers to become engaged in this critical activity.
Backgrounder: Service Oriented Architecture, or SOA, is becoming widely accepted in the IT community as an important technology strategy that addresses the complexities of typical enterprise application environments. SOA is a structural approach in which business level services are published as atomic units of capability separating and formalizing the concerns of provision and use. From a purely technical perspective SOA is a superior form of application integration or middleware. However the restructuring of systems capabilities into services presents a much broader opportunity for restructuring of business responsibilities and processes around the service concept.
