Developer Workshop


BIS and SOA

Service-Oriented Architecture


• SOA is about business value and productivity, not technological

• SOA is about enabling business change: – Speeds business change– Facilitates business connections– Enhances business control

• SOA is about business design: – Identifies a strategic set of business services– Creates a digital model of business capabilities that is a

foundation for business flexibility

A Solution Assembly Model

• An application built by combining multiple services within a Service-Oriented Architecture

• Services may be provided by newly developed components, or by legacy systems whose outputs have been packaged as Web Services

Composite Applications allow the development of flexible, robust “Transition” Architectures
