Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Reduced IT budget and struggling to deliver?

The current economic climate continues to have a major impact on operational spend, particularly around investment in IT. Spending may be limited, yet the expectations of the IT department remain. Interoperable IT systems and infrastructure are crucial in improving business performance during a recession, reducing operating overheads and promoting collaborative working across the organisation. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is key to achieving these goals.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a framework which facilitates systems integration, allowing control over systems and business processes. It uses well defined interfaces which allow better and easier integration of systems. A SOA project provides greater levels of flexibility which can handle new and changing business processes.

SOA and Microsoft Biztalk are key technologies for collaboration and we are engaged in a number of SOA and collaborative working based projects

Key Benefits of SOA

• Organisation wide integration of ‘silo’ based systems
• Improvement of existing systems rather than ‘rip and replace‘
• Joint working and sharing across people, processes and information
• Better control, flexibility and performance of existing IT systems
• Increased business efficiency and reduced costs
