Historically, software applications were written with few if any open interfaces. These systems were huge, monolithic, and difficult to interface to. The challenge is that these legacy systems contain business logic that implements key decisions about business processes.  Without an easy set of interfaces, these highly valuable units of business logic are locked away, difficult to reuse, and costly to maintain.

The concept of SOA was introduced so that those involved in business processes and information technology could design software and business rules as a service. The goal was to make it much easier for companies to reuse software and to interface to SOA applications.

By taking advantage of a SOA web service, we can provide customers with ability to solve multiple business problems. Customers may purchase and deploy one of our solutions for a particular business problem such as automating the people and workflow in telecommunication service activations.  This may only involve a percentage of all of the employees in that organization. If there are scheduling challenges with another section of the business, our SOA implementation can be used to solve those challenges with a small amount of incremental work.  Traditional business applications can sometimes be applied to new business problems, but rarely can they do so with little work effort.

When SOA is implemented properly it can greatly reduced integration costs, time to delivery and allow for higher reusability of business logic.  That's why JDM believes in the implementation of Service Oriented Architectures.

 

 

 

Key Benefits Include:

• Flexibility
  • Decouple Applications - Increase flexibility by moving integration details out of the application as standards based interoperable interfaces are created.
• Reusability
  • Leverage Enterprise Services - By having business process orchestrations reuse many of the same enterprise services.
• Business Process Optimization
  • Automation of Processes - Using BPEL to orchestrate the execution of services and rules to implement business processes.
• Consolidating Business Rules
  • Move Business Rules out of the Applications - By having the Rules Engine centrally manage and execute the rules which span applications.
• Cost Reduction
  • Improved Developer Productivity - By using standards based tools for configuring a SOA solution with little to no coding.
  • Reducing Operation Costs - By Utilizing standard platforms to reduce complexity.
