SOA Architecture
SOA Architecture is Changing the Technology Landscape
In the past, enterprises have chosen or created applications to meet the specific needs of various departments or to serve various functions within the organization. While these investments provided value at the time, they are typically rigid and not very adaptable to changing business needs. Enterprises are confronted with the choice of struggling with these older systems, and attempting to modify them to meet new requirements, or abandoning old investments, and the information assets they contain.
To deal with this dilemma, more and more companies have turned to the services oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure. A SOA solution transforms old applications and systems into modular services with clear interfaces that can be made available across the enterprise for integration and reuse. SOA architecture gives enterprises a way to leverage past investments and retain the knowledge locked within them, while allowing them to integrate with new applications to form custom solutions. Today, more than 1,000 enterprises worldwide have chosen services infrastructure products from Progress Software to optimize their investment in SOA architecture.
