SOA Service Oriented Architecture

  • APAC: Its SOA easy, say government agencies

    The need for application and data integration between government departments has made the public sector the leaders in Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) adoption, according to IT market analyst firm Springboard Research.

    “A variety of challenges such as siloed back-end systems, information proliferation and popular demand for efficient online services have combined to drive SOA-related investments in the public sector,” said Balaka Baruah Aggarwal, Senior Manager of Emerging Software for Springboard Research.

  • Canada: SOA at work: Ontario's common components

    Service-oriented architecture (SOA) may be the hot button of the moment in enterprise application development, but at the Ontario government, it's really nothing new.

    "For us, SOA is more a re-branding of an approach we've had in play since about 1999," says Ron Huxter, chief technology officer. "We referred to it then as a common components approach."

  • Public Sector Tops SOA Adoption in APAC: Study

    The public sector in the Asia Pacific region (excluding Japan) has emerged at the top of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) adoption, driven by the need for integration spanning government departments, said a Springboard Research report.

    Public sector IT spending in APAC will account for 23 % on an average of total IT spending as measured from 2005 to 2010 - according to a Springboard press release.

  • UK: SOA centres of excellence can cut costs

    Despite high initial start-up costs, service-oriented architecture (SOA) centres of excellence can save organisations a significant amount of money in the longer term and are crucial to ensure service quality, consistency and reuse.

    According to analyst Gartner, creating such centres enables enterprises to save an average of 30% in time and expenditure on application integration and data interface development, and cut maintenance outlay by 20%. It can also help them to ensure component reuse levels of about 25%.

  • US: For government, 'key driver of SOA and cloud is reuse': Justice Department CTO

    A decade of work on service oriented architecture is paving the way to today's cloud and shared services, says Ajay Budhraja, chief technology officer with the US Department of Justice.

    For the past decade, US federal government CIOs and IT managers have been working steadlily on a service-oriented approach to delivery of services across the agency. Lately, this effort has been extended to the cloud realm -- also is being embraced across agencies to better streamline the government's $80-billion annual IT budget.

  • US: Latest federal 'shared services' strategy is actually SOA redux

    SOA is all about not having to reinvent the wheel. So why is the federal government trying to reinvent the wheel to reinstate what already has been learned and developed through SOA over the past decade?

    Many people used to say that service oriented architecture was CORBA and object-oriented programming in a new bottle. Many feel cloud computing is SOA in a new bottle. Now, a former federal enterprise architect says the federal government’s newly hatched shared services initiative sounds an awful lot like SOA.

  • USA: Arizona Rolls Out New Plans for Service-Oriented Architecture

    Arizona's Government Information Technology Agency (GITA), in cooperation with Arizona state agencies, has been working to develop plans for the implementation of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The goal of the program is to continuously evolve and improve state services through the use of emergent information technology.

    Software technologies of today that did not exist in the past will now provide the next step of automation delivery for greater flexibility and creativity in crossing agency application boundaries for common services and information, said GITA in a release. All shared services and information will comply with applicable federal and state statutes.

  • USA: Have SOA, Will Travel: How one Government Agency Keeps 325,000 Scientists on the Road

    When the federal government gets serious about digitizing its operations across the board, it's generally a good thing. However, for countless agencies with their own applications, it means some serious integration work ahead. Service oriented architecture can smooth the path to government-wide standardization.

    In a recent SOA Magazine article, Jian "Jeff" Zhong explains how a federal agency employed service-oriented architecture principles to integrate its financial systems with E-Gov Travel Services, deployed as part of 24 E-Gov initiatives created in response to the "E-Government Act of 2002."

  • USA: HUD embraces SOA

    The Housing and Urban Development Department is moving toward service-oriented architecture (SOA) that will aid the agency in its mission to promote responsible, sustainable home ownership and maximize options for safe and affordable housing for citizens and residents across the nation.

    Like many agencies, HUD is saddled with multiple of legacy systems—200 of which are supported by multiple point products.
