| Abstract
In the world of business applications, standards-based
efforts are gaining momentum. Web services implementations
are growing as users migrate to the middleware that
enables and simplifies Web application-to-application
connectivity. In addition, users are warming to the
idea of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to connect
applications across a network in a way that fosters
code sharing and reuse.
The proponents of SOA claim that it brings great benefits
to the enterprise: More resource sharing, fewer information
silos and simpler structure. But if you are wondering
just what exactly do we mean by SOA (Service Oriented
Architecture); this column written by Shashank Tanksali,
the SOA practice manager at Wipro Technologies, published
in DMReview.com May 5, 2005 by the Integration Consortium,
might just be what the doctor ordered.
