This may well be the plight of many CIOs and IT directors today.
Tutorial Details:
Companies big and small have invested time, effort, and money over the past few years hoping to realize the SOA (service-oriented architecture) dream. Numerous SOA implementations have resulted in varying degrees of disappointment. And many companies are coming to realize that SOA is more complex to implement than expected, requiring a laser-like focus on all aspects of enterprise data and a deeper shift in organizational culture than any previous technology wave has demanded.
As we all know, an architecture oriented around services is not new. A few precursors to SOA, such as CORBA and DCOM, have already successfully bridged disparate applications using a loosely-coupled services-oriented approach. What is new about the SOA wave is that SOA is not simply about services. The emergence of the Internet and XML has opened the floodgates for data exchange. The software industry has lined up behind common data exchange format (XML) and Internet transport protocols like it never has before. Thus, a surge of well-accepted and open standards have emerged that enable the promise of SOA: to support flexible configuration of business processes, reduce operational costs, enable dynamic discovery of services, and provide seamless integration between applications, departments, and trading partners.
