Service Oriented Architecture Overview for Managers
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has become a key component in the strategy of business leaders and IT organizations. SOA is often described as the next evolution of distributed and modular programming - aimed at reducing integration complexities while increasing business agility. However, because SOA is new, complex, and contains a broad vendor space; organizations struggle with where to start and how to avoid common, yet devastating, pitfalls.
This Lunch and Learn seminar describes the motivation, benefits, and components that make up a successful SOA. Several customer scenarios lay out challenges organizations have faced and addressed through a SOA initiative, the results of these efforts, and the associated lessons learned.
