| 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. |
