The Business Value Propositions of Service-Oriented Architectures

Abstract:- Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) concept provides the software industry with a powerful business value extension not available with hardware solutions – a model that supports flexible and dynamic assembly of business solutions at runtime from a variety of locations. In addition to addressing technical complexities, business drivers for an SOA framework model include the capability to significantly improve the time-to-market delivery of the business solution and require less technical resources to deliver it. A primary goal of implementing Service-Oriented Architecture is to simplify development and implementation of new applications and capabilities through aggregating many low-level tasks into higher-level services. A secondary goal of SOA is to enable any application or process to utilize the services of any other application or process, over any means of interconnection. The universality of SOA can help enterprises use their existing systems in new ways, for new purposes, for greater competitive advantage, efficiency, and return on investment
