Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

SOA Planning & Design

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural style that an organization can use to align its business processes and software capabilities around the concept of services. Thereby an organization significantly improves its IT responsiveness to changing business demands, bring down the cost of implementing new IT enabled business capabilities by mostly reusing the software services in new arrangements, reduce the financial impact of throwing away unwanted or obsolete software components. With already implemented software services, SOA improves business agility by reducing the time required to support new business processes or changes to existing processes to hours, minutes or even in some cases to seconds or sub-seconds.

Standards compliant technologies used in implementing SOA (like Web Services) reduce the integration nightmares encountered within or cross-boarder integrations.

SOA Governance

Fast responsiveness of IT which is an inherent quality of SOA demands better IT governance. SOA needs a solid foundation that is based on standards, policies, contracts and service level agreements. To support rapid decision making and fast changes, SOA implementations also use governance related software capabilities, additional tools and techniques not generally found in traditional IT governance implementations.
