Agenda

• What is SOA?

• Key SOA Standards.

• Oracle SOA Suite.

• Other Related Technologies.

• Euridice Perspective.

• Q&A


What is SOA?

A Technical Perspective

A Service Oriented Architecture is a collection of self-contained services (system functions) that can communicate with each other.

A Business Perspective

A service-oriented architecture is a style of multitier computing that helps organizations share logic and data among multiple applications and usage modes.

The SOA Promise

Defining services at a “business level” enables rapid composition of end-to-end business processes, delivering on the promise of greater IT flexibility and agility.

Lower Technology Costs, Smaller Business IT Gap

SOA: Key Terms

ServiceA unit of business functionality that can be invoked over the network

Web serviceA service that is called in a standard way, so anyone can use it without knowing its internals

“Loosely coupled”

When services are self-contained, and can be easily combined and disassembled, they are called loosely coupled.

Service-Oriented Architecture

A standards-based platform that lets you model, develop, find, and combine services into flexible business processes

OrchestrationCombining and assembling services into a coherent business process – also known as business process management


SOA: What Products are needed?

Services Preferably one service to one business function

Registry A place to store them so you can find them easily

Process manager An orchestration tool so you can plug them together

Message bus A way for them to communicate with each other

Security Secure SOA, via WS Security & IDM

Monitoring *Bonus. Real-time Activity Monitoring & Optimization
