The focus of IT has shifted from a technology-centric approach to a flexibility-driven
approach, measured by time-to-delivery and its ability to change. Service-oriented
architecture (SOA) embodies this new approach.
Unlike client/server systems that are expensive to maintain and update,
SOA is based on loosely-coupled services whose interface exists independently
of the implementation. Services can be built, used and reused based on
changing business need, and easily integrated across any type of platform.
Service-oriented architectures are poised to transform business by enabling
more flexible and agile IT infrastructures. This Service-Oriented Architecture
Resource Center will provide the most up-to-date developments and in-depth
analysis regarding SOA and its key agent of change, middleware.
