Service Oriented Architecture - SOA
IT Service Management - Based on a Service Oriented Architecture
In
today's competitive business environment, innovation
drives success and growth. Speeding the go-to-market
time of enterprise innovations is critical for
increasing business agility. Applications and supporting
infrastructures must be built to change, built to last,
and built to run 24x7. Businesses are constantly
challenged to share and transmit highly-sensitive data
securely, and with increasing speed. Service-oriented
architecture (SOA) improves business resilience by
enabling both the rapid reuse of existing assets and the
sharing of services and infrastructure across the
business. However, the strategies for adopting an SOA
approach can be confusing, if not daunting.
Additionally, incorporating SOA's Web services and
XML-based underpinnings with a multitude of new
connectivity points can introduce a host of issues for
any business, including complexity, security, and slow
performance. If not addressed, these issues can be
prohibitively costly in terms of resources, time, budget
and risk. For enterprises to reap the benefits of SOA
deployments, they must find ways to address these risks.
