SERVICE ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE (SOA)
An organisation that cannot adapt quickly loses out to the more alert organisations that can change their operation and applications to suite new ways of addressing market challenges and customer preferences. |
 |
Service Oriented Architecture is a model that: -
- equips businesses to adapt their technologies to meet changing business environments.
- utilises an organisation's business applications to provide a streamlined and seamless approach to changing markets and business/customer needs.
- enables organisations to remain agile and flexible to the changing patterns and shifts in customer preferences without being dictated to by the applications that are employed.
A Service Orientated Architecture approach provides a tactic that enables businesses to design their technical infrastructures in a way that allows for the flexibility to change business services and operations via a common communications protocol. By employing an SOA methodology businesses can utilise the capabilities of existing stand alone applications so that they can be easily accessed via an integrated architecture. These services are then used to automate and centralise operations to achieve the flexibility required to meet foreseen or unexpected changing demands of markets and preferences of customers.
