SOA consulting

Organizations over time have adopted several technologies and applications within their IT infrastructure. Disparate applications, distributed locations and the inability consume and provide business functions across applications not uncommon in the typical IT scenario. As companies grow bigger, the ability to harness existing infrastructure seamlessly while building upon them only those services needed to serve new business needs has become essential.

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is an approach to a loosely coupled, protocol independent, standards based distributed computing environment, where software resources are made available as services. SOA allows the enterprise to make business processes that are encapsulated in multiple applications available over a standards based framework accessible by any authorized client within or across the organization.

Applications are connected to the SOA framework over a common messaging framework. Processes are orchestrated independent of the underlying technologies, Managed and made available to authorized client users/applications. Use of standards ensures extendibility of the framework and insulated the organization from changing products, data sources and consumers.
