Optimize the business outcome of SOA
Today, service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a mainstream IT initiative that ranks among the top priorities of CIOs. SOA dramatically improves the flexibility and adaptability of organizations by accelerating the time to market for new applications and processes, driving down IT costs by making services highly reusable and building business processes to support change. As a result, organizations can react faster, seize new opportunities and respond more quickly to competitive threats.
This paper summarizes the business benefits of adopting SOA, describes the obstacles that must be overcome and outlines the BTO approach that HP uses to optimize the business outcome of SOA.
