Before & After SOA

Before SOA

Siloed, non-integrated
Closed
Monolithic
Brittle, vulnerable

Before:

In traditional IT architectures, business process activities, applications and data are often locked in independent, incompatible "silos" that are expensive to maintain and leave users having to navigate separate networks, applications and databases to perform specific business tasks.

After SOA

Shared Services
Collaborative
Interoperable
Integrated

After:

With a Services-Oriented Architecture (SOA), users no longer have to login to multiple systems, search for relevant data and integrate the results manually. The data for business process activities is delivered as an integrated service, in a single application, on a single screen, with a single login.
