I have aligned SOA to EA What next?

This presentation provides practical guidance on aligning Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to Enterprise Architecture (EA) to create business value.

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural style that involves designing and building software applications as a collection of modular and reusable services. These services are self-contained, have well-defined interfaces, and can be accessed and reused by other services or applications in a standardized and interoperable manner.

SOA provides organizations with a flexible and agile architecture that can support changing business requirements and enable better alignment between IT and business goals. By promoting the reuse of services and providing a standardized and interoperable framework for service interaction, SOA can improve the quality, reliability, and security of IT systems, reduce the complexity of IT architectures, and enable better collaboration and information sharing across different departments and business units.

The “Service-Oriented Architecture” category in the CIO Reference Library is a collection of articles and documents that provide insights into the fundamental concepts of SOA, its benefits, and best practices for implementing effective SOA within organizations.
