Toward High Performance in Defense
Defense organizations must respond rapidly in the face of change. This is where information technology and service-oriented architecture (SOA) come in as critical enablers of responsiveness for defense organizations. The next wave of SOA is a foundation for mission success in a next-generation military that must improve operations and business systems while responding to warfighter demands.
The real business value of SOA is not in the technology itself, but in the mission and business solutions it enables. These can be solutions once deemed impossible or impractical—such as standards-based business process management, composite solutions or software as a service. Or, they can be existing solutions made simpler, less costly and faster to implement such as using service-based integration instead of traditional enterprise application integration.
