Businesses are being forced to respond faster to competitive and customer challenges. They are looking to IT to provide flexibility and speed as they address complex business problems. Forced to deliver more in less time, IT managers are looking for technologies that provide agility and lower costs. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an approach to integrating business applications that reduces complexity, enhances adaptability and cuts development and operational costs for companies running multiple business applications.

SOA technologies enable companies to:

• Eliminate information silos by facilitating information sharing between applications, departments
• Create new channels by enabling companies to seamlessly and securely share information with customers and business partners
• Reduce development costs by easily promoting reuse
• Significantly reduce maintenance costs by decoupling applications from the integration technology and from one another – when one application is upgraded, the impact on other connected applications is drastically limited or even eliminated
