Service oriented architecture (SOA): MKS Integrity

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Adoption: advantages, business process

A Management Framework for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Reduces Costs and Enables Innovation

Driven by a need for greater efficiency and cost effectiveness and a desire to reduce labour costs, CIOs are looking to adopt SOAs to innovate more efficiently, reduce rework and duplication of efforts, and speed up delivery of services to market.

Yet, SOA adoption is not without its hurdles. There are potential management and liability issues with SOA that reach beyond the limitations of current meta-data repository technologies. Namely, who owns and is accountable for a component? How should change be universally applied to a component in all its instances etc. MKS Integrity’s application lifecycle management solution provides a management framework for SOA adoption enabling the tracking of components, related requirements and artifacts through their full cradle to grave lifespan, and enables collaboration between all lifecycle constituents.
