Overview

To get the most from SOA, start here.

You're considering or have embarked on an SOA initiative because your organization wants better business and IT agility to:

	keep up with today's dynamic business processes
	match application functionality to core business requirements
	easily integrate cross-functional processes
	make better use of your existing applications and realize a greater return on your technological investments

SOA is agile business, responsive IT.

Welcome to the club. Most companies choose SOA for the same reasons: to better meet the current and future needs of both business and IT. By leveraging Web services for more agile development and deployment of integrated business solutions, business gets the solutions it needs faster and IT, with a new strong architectural foundation, is able to be more responsive.

Build on a foundation of composite applications.

A strong architectural foundation starts with our award-winning Composite Application Platform. Designed to be an integral element of your SOA effort, our software makes it easy for business professionals to access and interact with critical business information stored in multiple silos via composite applications. And it enables IT professionals to rapidly transform existing assets into high-impact solutions that can be deployed to multiple environments.

We work with a variety of business partners, all with a common goal of delivering winning solutions to help enterprise customers realize the power of SOA in action: simplified business integration and greatly increased agility.
