Faster time to market -
The core philosophy of SOA inherently promotes reuse for development and integration teams. With reuse of services and components, new applications can be quickly assembled to respond to changing market conditions or business demand. With the shortening of project time frames comes a faster response rate to changing business requirements.
Operational efficiencies -
Most packaged enterprise applications perform well in streamlining processes related to standard tasks. However, the performance rapidly deteriorates while automating and streamlining customized processes that encompass multiple enterprise applications. The process is difficult, time-consuming and expensive to implement and maintain. SOA virtually eliminates these interapplication complexity barriers. It allows IT to more rapidly change to the needs of the business so that IT can create a culture and an infrastructure of business adaptability. In other words, SOA enables "IT that fits the business."
Faster, less expensive application integration and B2B integration -
Implementing a traditional packaged application integration solution is expensive and complex, often requiring extensive manual coding for deployment purposes. An SOA framework provides native support for runtime deployment of services across the network and it dramatically reduces the overall costs of application integration and deployment by automating these time-consuming processes. It also allows extension of integration across business boundaries.
SOA enables businesses to realize greater agility in their business practices, delivering value across both application and IT infrastructure layers. From an application perspective, SOA enables the development of a new generation of dynamic or composite applications. These applications enable end-users to access information and processes across functional boundaries, and to consume them in a number of convenient ways, including through Web, rich client, and mobile presentation layers. From an infrastructure perspective, SOA enables IT to simplify application and system integration, to recombine and reuse application functionality, and to organize development work into a unified and consistent design framework. The combined business value of the SOA approach helps to lower IT costs; provides better, more rapidly accessible business information; and enables the organization to identify and respond to workflow problems more efficiently.
