SOAs improve an organization's ability to respond to changing business needs and facilitate reuse reuse - Using code developed for one application program in another application. Traditionally achieved using program libraries. Object-oriented programming offers reusability of code via its techniques of inheritance and genericity. of software development assets (SDAs). Well-abstracted services that provide useful "chunks" of business function aligned with an enterprise roadmap of core strategic business processes are an important part of this picture. These services, coupled with a scalable service-oriented architecture and accompanying development tools, enable the rapid assembly of new business capabilities within the enterprise - enabling companies to leverage software development resources across the enterprise, improve collaboration, decrease software development lifecycles and increase business analyst and programmer productivity. Attendees will learn about: -- Concepts and best practices for SOAs; -- Why software reuse The ability to use software routines over again in new applications. This is one of the benefits of object technology.
