Allowing processes to interconnect easily in
a flexible infrastructure based on business needs, the Service
Oriented Architectures (SOA) approach is ideally
suited to a modern dynamic enterprise. Properly managed and
secured SOA can provide the reliability and interoperability
that are the critical enablers of Boundaryless Information
Flow™.
Driven by the need for greater business agility, increased
IT asset reuse, and reduced complexity throughout the entire
enterprise, companies of all sizes implement SOA to reap
a number of important benefits, including easier resource
sharing, fewer information silos, simpler structure, and
a reduced risk of lock-in into proprietary systems.
"75% of enterprise
buyers plan on investing in SOA technology and staffing
within the next year" The
Yankee Group
The advantages of Service Oriented Architectures are so
compelling that 75% of 473 enterprise buyers surveyed by
the Yankee Group plan on investing in SOA technology and
staffing within the next year.
As enterprise systems mature and services become widely
used, key performance indicators (KPIs) and Service Level
Agreements are becoming crucial business contracts. Agencies
that are tasked with the delivery of critical services will
need to be able to provide consistent quality of service
based on KPIs. To fully benefit from SOA, the right metrics
have to be in place and consistently used.
With the number of services on the network available to
users increasing, which amplifies the network effect, the
value of such services grows exponentially. In the
near future, as organizations increase the flexibility and
responsiveness of their business processes by directly interoperating
with their suppliers, customers, and other partners, the
SOA approach will become indispensable.
