Enterprise Architecture & SOA

SOA, Service Oriented Architecture

Many organizations suffer because of the complexity in the management of  an ecosystem of highly isolated vertical applications linked to the different channels in use within their working environment. Over the time, the need to integrate led to the development of ad hoc solutions in order to interconnect the different business systems (the so called “spaghetti architecture”).

The disorganized evolution of such systems led to an increase of management costs and to the difficult evolution of software systems.

Adopting an integration and Service Oriented Architecture enables to look at the business systems from a new perspective, thus reviewing the way to plan, assemble, monitor and manage them.
