Understanding Service-Oriented Architecture and Its Impact on Small - Midsize Manufacturers
Monday, 21st May 2007

Although the concept of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been with us for some time, its more widespread use is a newer phenomenon. According to Gartner Research, by 2008, SOA will be a prevailing software engineering practice, ending the 40 year domination of monolithic software architecture. In addition, Gartner projects that by 2008, more than 75 percent of then-current application packages either will be natively SOA or will expose SOA interfaces through a wrapping layer of interfaces. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) continues to emerge as the dominant technical platform for building next generation business applications. Cut through the hype surrounding the technology by:
  • Examining the manufacturing pains that are driving the conversion to service-oriented business applications
  • Breaking down the essence of SOA
  • Focusing on the relevance of SOA as a tool for continuous business process improvement
  • Comparing and contrasting the Made2Manage SOA product development strategy with that of other ERP vendors
