Bea's introduction to SOA

Overview Bea and SOA

In order to gain the competitive advantage, the enterprise must make the technology to serve the business target effectively. BEA is committed to promoting the overall application infrastructure compatibility through open standards and SOA (service-oriented architecture) to help enterprises quickly realize it value.

SOA is an IT strategy that formats decentralized functionality in enterprise applications as a standard interoperability service that enables organizations to quickly assemble and reuse these services to meet business needs.

SOA organizes enterprise it around services, not applications, with some of the key advantages of increasing business and it efficiency, agility, and delivery of products. Enable it to deliver services that are closer to business requirements faster. Improve the responsiveness of the business to improve the user experience. Hides the underlying technical complexity of the IT environment.

In other words, SOA accelerates the development of applications, allowing for more reliable delivery of new and improved services.

Now, some organizations have adopted a service-oriented environment based on the BEA enterprise based software. They have received significant results, including increased revenue, increased customer satisfaction, reduced operating costs and an increase in the return of existing technology investments.

BEA has developed a vision and roadmap that uses liquid COMPUTINGTM to simplify enterprise computing and improve business responsiveness. meet today's business challenges

The pace of your business is faster than it used to be. As customers, partners and employees expect higher quality service--24x7 services-today's enterprise systems are hard to keep pace with. The first and foremost are the IT staff, and the tasks assigned to them are:

increased operational efficiency: making existing investments more productive and, at the same time, means improving the way the business is managed and implementing a comprehensive business process. In particular, to maintain and expand the new strategic development results, including compression of budgets and expenditures, reduce ongoing maintenance costs, and in the actual business in each area to achieve "with less effort."

Improve customer response: need to respond more quickly to business-enabled investors, whether they are from internal or external customers, who have more or less information requirements for IT systems, including the collection and use of information throughout the business process, regardless of where the information is located, To make the information accessible to those who need it.

Increased business agility: the need to quickly adapt to the business, including internal and external contact points, because the business is constantly changing, should be avoided due to changes in business requirements to new development of new applications and large changes to the original infrastructure.

With so many important tasks on hand, how can it people meet those growing needs to quickly realize it value? The answer is to develop and deploy a service-oriented architecture (SOA). The SOA approach enables better alignment of it with business objectives, enabling IT organizations to efficiently reuse assets, create value faster for enterprises, and thus more easily respond to changing business needs.

Why

uses SOA.
A higher-level application development architecture for service-oriented architecture (SOA) that makes it more focused on business processes rather than underlying IT infrastructures to gain a competitive advantage.

SOA to enterprises that need to use information technology to address critical business issues, including businesses that want to reduce redundant architectures, create common business interfaces across customer and employee systems, businesses that require personalized information for users based on roles and workflows, and want to achieve trans-zone sales over the Internet, It is valuable to upgrade sales and organizations that promote customer service through mobile device access.

An enterprise that employs a service-driven approach experiences the following business and it benefits: Business benefits for service-oriented architecture efficiency: business processes from "chimney"-like, Repetitive processes shift to a low maintenance-cost, highly leveraged, shared Services application. response: to quickly adapt and deliver critical business services to meet market demands and to provide customers, employees and partners with a higher level of service. adaptability: it becomes more complex and less difficult to transfer the entire business more efficiently, achieving the goal of saving time and money. It benefits for service-oriented architectures Complexity reduction: standards-based compatibility reduces complexity compared to point-to-point integration. Increased reuse: enables more efficient application/project development and delivery by reusing shared services that were previously developed and deployed. Legacy Integration: legacy applications that serve as reusable services reduce the cost of maintenance and integration.  
Today's service-driven enterprises are experiencing the efficiency of development, the high reliability of services, and the high quality of services to maximize the benefits of business opportunities.

business strategy and processes -whether current business and it strategies include a framework that is appropriate for SOA. Only by making the business and IT strategy fully consistent can you discover the enterprise's problems and implement the solution consistently and repeatedly. schema- to deliver services quickly and dynamically, organizations must develop a framework that can assemble components and services. The architecture will focus on reusability and availability, avoiding the formation of "chimney" (stovepipe) applications and islands of IT resources. costs and benefits -when SOA is implemented, it responds more quickly, reduces maintenance costs significantly, and provides a compelling cost-benefit analysis. The projects and Applications --SOA enables you to build applications in a new way within a more powerful and flexible programming model. Organizations need to identify which existing applications should be merged into the SOA architecture. Artifacts --as a schema and a programming model, SOA is a way to build software. Organizations need to identify which modules (including encodings, services, applications, and components) should be used and reused when implementing SOA. Organization and Management -for new service-oriented IT organizations, you should define their roles and responsibilities and optimize skill sets while organizing an effective design "reuse factory" (reuse Factory) to help define management patterns. And ultimately to ensure that customers in the management of the autonomous capacity.
