Why SOA is used.
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a higher-level application development architecture that enables it to focus more on business processes than on the underlying IT infrastructure to gain competitive advantage.
SOA for 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 based on roles and workflows), and want to achieve cross-regional sales over the internet, It is valuable to upgrade sales and organizations that promote customer service through mobile device access.
Enterprises that adopt a service-driven approach experience the following business and it benefits:
Business benefits for service-oriented architectures
efficiency: transform business processes from "chimney"-like, repetitive processes to highly leveraged, shared service applications that are less costly to maintain.
response: quickly adapt and deliver critical business services to meet market demands and provide a higher level of service to customers, employees and partners.
adaptability: more efficient transfer of the entire business becomes more complex and less difficult, to save time and money.
The IT benefits of service-oriented architecture reduce complexity: 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 used 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.
