Coming Very Soon To SAP Customers: SOA
• SOA = Service Oriented Architecture• A new architecture for building more business-driven enterprise
applications• A way of offering more flexibility and more agility in delivering and
changing business processes• By thinking in terms of business services, with less emphasis on IT
details and a high level approach• Business services are organized into application components,
loosely coupled, “orchestrated” and reusable• Still some vendor SOA challenges: Testing, Performance, Security• Also some customer SOA challenges
