Businesses today are floundering in what has occasionally been called Service Oriented
'Ambiguity.' They are unsure of what the SOA buzzword really means and how it can
benefit their bottom lines.
The bottom line on SOA is this: SOA is a design philosophy that takes your core
business functions and develops them into independent blocks of computer programs
called 'services.' These services are accessed through any number of portal programs
that allow user access and accept data for processing. The services are modular,
scalable, and upgradable, so they offer a unique opportunity to change as your business
processes change.
True SOA, with no hype, can yield tremendous benefits in efficiency and cost-reduction,
or it can be a big disappointment if expectations are unrealistic. That is why it
behooves any administrator to know what it can and cannot do.
