A Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is the next-generation infrastructure designed for integrating and re-using your existing assets. Within a service-oriented architecture, applications, information and other IT assets are viewed as services or "building blocks." Each of these Web services are now reusable and can be mixed and matched to create new, flexible business processes. The end goal, as your business processes become automated and more modular, is to make your company more agile and responsive to any changing business priorities such as new markets to pursue, competition to beat out, corporate initiatives to drive down costs, and the need to reduce risk and maintain corporate compliance.
With the responsible of web services standards and the platforms that implement them, businesses are increasingly seeing the advantages in exposing their applications and business processes either internally or externally as web services. One of the advantages in doing this is that it allows such services to be coordinate into higher level workflows, re-using existing service implementations within new applications. Such Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) allows an organization to have more re-use and so quicker time to market at lower development costs, more flexible business processes that can be altered and adapted more quickly to changing market requirements, and all of this can be done by leveraging existing IT assets.
