Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is an approach to software application development designed to transform business applications into services which can be combined and reused. The approach is said to help federal, state and local governments and public sector agencies leverage globally available information resources, streamline information flow, enhance security and improve operating efficiencies through shared services models.
Our new Federal SOA Readiness Self-Assessment is designed to help government customers evaluate time-to-value and SOA readiness assessment factors so that they can determine the strategies they need to implement SOA, said Bruce Graham, vice president of worldwide consulting services, BEA Systems.
We are helping customers focus their approach to SOA, which is designed to help them to realize faster delivery of services, higher productivity and reduced IT costs – all of which can help enable results-driven, high-performance government.
