So we have all heard this over and over. Here's the magic receipe for SOA, as per the industry :
Ingredients:
- Multiple business applications, preferably residing in multiple databases
- Lots of platforms
- Lack of integrations, needing lots of manual scrubbing and redundant data entry
- lack of standardized processes
- Lack of common definition of fundamental constructs like Customer, Product, Item
- First, identify all discrete business steps within every application
- Create web services !
- Now mix all the web services in all the apps together and shake well
- Make sure that you pour this into a container that can hold all of them - call it the "orchestrator", "glue", "process integrator" or whatever
- Now slap on various user interfaces on top of this and call them "consumers"
- Just for fun, sprinkle some "business process tools" on top of this and let your end business users run amok with the combinations, just like a kid in a candy store who wants a mixture of jelly beans !
- After this, all you need is to examine how great your culinary skills are - just use a "business activity monitor" and if the tempearture drops or rises above thresholds - just set off an "exception workflow" and you are all set!
