Why Will SOA Succeed?
Building a foundation for SOA is a process, but once the foundation is in place, IT changes become faster and easier. If you make a change affecting multiple systems, you need only modify the one service that is reused in multiple instances across the enterprise. Service-oriented architecture is not a panacea. It will not solve every business and IT challenge. But with the right planning and execution, SOA can deliver important benefits today and tomorrow. SOA makes IT less of a constraining factor in business decisions, because it’s easier for IT to turn the business’s ideas into reality.
