Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) 

Internal and external developments are constantly placing new demands on the infrastructure of your organisation. This is a problem if you work with different systems that are linked to the ICT environments of external parties, as the development and modification of services will then cause a lot of worry and work. The solution is the unlinking of systems and processes by turning to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Oracle has the tool and Inter Access the experience in setting up such an architecture.

The added value of Oracle SOA

With the Service Oriented Architecture Suite of Oracle, you can lay a series of process components, or services, over your existing systems. The idea behind this is that processes double at many points. Consequently, the digital retrieval of customer and invoice details forms a part of many service processes. By unlinking these processes from the various systems, it is possible to benefit from previous experiences. Services form the ‘building blocks’ of the design, expansion or modification of applications. By using this component approach, you can adjust the functionality of the systems to changed needs much more quickly.

Approach

Inter Access implements SOA solutions based on the slogan: ‘Contract First’. In these contracts between the IT department and the business managers, we stipulate what services are developed and how they will be deployed within a process. The commercial contribution of SOA processes transforms IT from an inhibiting factor into a catalyst to adaptively respond to changes and gain more insight into process support.

Result

With the Service Oriented Architecture Suite of Oracle and the assistance of Inter Access in its implementation, you:

  • can more quickly modify existing processes and consequently shorten the time-to-market of new products and services;
  • can more easily integrate internal and external data sources and applications;
  • have better guiding information because the complete process becomes more clear.
