SOA Architect
The SOA Architect Requires Innovative Solutions
More and more enterprises are realizing the wisdom of transitioning to a service oriented architecture (SOA). As the global marketplace has become increasingly driven by technology, enterprises have had to focus on application integration to make information and applications more available. Yet because most enterprises have a technology infrastructure that easily accommodate change, integration has been a difficult and costly proposition for the information architect. The service oriented architecture promises to change that. By reconfiguring all applications and systems as reusable services, the SOA architect can help the enterprise achieve greater availability and agility. Applications that once could not communicate with each other easily can be efficiently combined to offer new functionality to solve new business challenges. The service oriented architecture creates a foundation for growth and change, allowing the enterprise infrastructure to evolve quickly and easily. For the SOA architect seeking a platform to support deployment of a superior service oriented architecture, consider Progress Software.
