Enterprise SOA – Making It Agile

A dramatic increase in the rate and pace of change is what characterizes businesses today. There is increased unpredictability in the market, given the global footprint and complexity of businesses. To add to this, Information technology, over the years, has come to play a large role in enterprises. Given such a scenario, it is imperative that underlying IT systems of organizations are in synch with these changes. Enterprises must respond to these changes in an agile manner.

However, many current application architectures resist this new reality. Business applications are siloed and monolithic, and interfaces rigid and customized. It is often difficult, if not impossible, to share information across various applications. These problems are magnified when businesses attempt to increase the reach to customers and partners and across the supply chain.

Enterprise SOA is neither a technology nor purely an IT concept. It is rather a future oriented management concept focusing on IT to generate economic value. Enterprise SOA creates a comprehensive framework for developing loosely joined software services that companies can recombine anytime. They can thus reduce costs significantly and respond more quickly and flexibly to new opportunities and challenges. The faster companies change, the more companies benefit fro enterprise SOA.

The overarching goal of enterprise SOA is to create a single , tightly integrated enterprise platform using SAP-Netweaver as the foundation.

HCL has an Enterprise SOA Practice that leverages the SAP NetWeaver® platform to build services based on composite applications. It has developed composite applications for the Utilities, Banking & Financial Services and is in the process of developing composites for a few other industries that automate specific business processes leveraging SAP exchange infrastructure (SAP XI).
