SOA Reference Architecture
It is business processes which need integration – not technologies or applications. SOA shouldn’t be treated like a mere plumbing exercise. HCL sees SOA as a way of integrating and automating business processes – an evolving form of thinking, in the business to create – Plug and Play enterprise.
Recent research reports indicate that integration is increasingly becoming the focus for many businesses. Enterprises face the challenge of connecting various and distinct business applications together with their existing legacy systems, in order to create an effective business and enhance productivity.
Operational efficiency is inhibited by multiple factors like disjointed IT across various business units, lack of process automation and challenge of ERP/CRM & SCM Integration. And hence at HCL – we take a SOA based approach and attempt to tackle the customer challenges at product, architecture and process level.
