Today, organizations that have adopted service-oriented environments are experiencing dramatic results. Increased revenues, increased customer satisfaction, lower operational costs, and higher returns are the benefits reaped on their existing technology investments.
Service-Oriented Architecture is an IT strategy that organizes discrete functions contained in enterprise applications. These are interoperable, standard-based services that can be combined and reused quickly to meet business needs.
By organizing enterprise IT around services instead of around applications, SOA provides key benefits such as:- Improves productivity, agility and speed for both Business and IT.
- Allows IT to deliver services faster and align closer with business.
- Allows the business to respond quickly and delivers optimal user experience.
- Masks the underlying technical complexity of the IT environment.
- Allows Components / Services to be reused, resulting in cost savings and reduction of maintenance nightmares.
- This results in more rapid development and more reliable delivery of new and enhanced business services.
Business Benefits of Service-Oriented Architecture
- Efficiency: Transforms business processes from silo, replicated processes into highly leveraged, shared services that cost less to maintain.
- Responsiveness: Rapid adaptation and delivery of key business services to meet market demands for increased service levels to customers, employees and partners.
- Adaptability: More effective rollout changes throughout the business with minimal complexity and effort, saving time and cost.
IT Benefits of Service-Oriented Architecture
- Reduced Complexity: Standards-based compatibility versus point-to-point integration reduces complexity.
- Increased Reuse: More efficient application/project development and delivery through the reuse of shared services previously developed and deployed.
- Legacy Integration: Legacy applications leveraged as re-usable services, lowering the cost of maintenance and integration.
