SOA – The Missing Link?What is the Value Proposition?

SOA promises seamless collaboration of multiple information systems without regard for the nature of the technology or the incompatibilities that may exist between systems.


The Business processes transactions – Contracts, Orders, Deliveries, Invoices, Payments etc.

They don’t want to wait a year while IT re-writes the mainframe invoicing system which has worked fine for the last 10 years.

They want to provide better Customer Service at lower cost

The Business needs to be agile – changing the service they offer to meet market demands

SOA – The Missing Link?So what do we achieve?

Agile business systems can be created utilizing the information technologies companies already have in place, since no business can afford the time and expense of ripping out, replacing or rewriting every incompatible technology that impedes business agility.

SOA – The Missing Link?

Summary

SOA is about business, not just another IT solution.

Re-use of existing systems is not only possible – it’s relatively simple

You need an adaptive framework to access your existing systems

Be wary of “Adapter Development Kits”

The Business needs to be agile – offer new services quickly to meet market

demands
