Services Oriented Architecture

Evolution Without Disruption

Where technologies are involved, the Enterprise Plan can be built using the SOA approach. SOA can be implemented in a non-disruptive way that enables rapid change in processes with the use of technology solutions. Services can be integrated with workflow systems to enable business processes to be measured, monitored and controlled effectively. SOA also reduces future development costs by leveraging existing IT assets.

SOA is About...

• Enhancing the Customer/Employee Experience: SOA enhances the experience through aligning processes.
• Flexibility: SOA is a flexible architecture that accommodates changing demands.
• Cross-Departmental Solutions: To avoid “stovepipe” thinking, SOA creates a holistic view of the business, breaking down departmental boundaries.
• Integration: SOA allows systems to be integrated seamlessly into the architecture, allowing for orderly management of each system’s lifecycle. This saves time and money, and allows the organization’s technology to evolve in an orderly manner.
