Benefits of SOA
SOA holds the promise of business process-driven services for use across the enterprise. However, poorly-implemented SOA will lead to more components, created faster than ever before, resulting in service spaghetti that can never be untangled. Service spaghetti leaves the business with no ability to ensure that business rules are consistently applied and that regulatory requirements are met. That said, a well-executed SOA promises:
- Faster development times.
- The ability to leverage legacy applications.
- Mitigation of vendor lock in.
- Helps create more extensible solutions.
- Improved IT and business agility.
