2004. – 9 pages. www.fiorano.com
This whitepaper will help you understand the business benefits of Services Oriented Architecture Implementation Framework (SOAIF). Implementation of an SOA requires tools as well as run-time infrastructure software, which we collectively refer to as an SOAIF. An SOAIF includes both design-time and run-time capabilities as well as all the software functionality an enterprise requires to build and operate an SOA, including service-oriented:
- Tools
- Management
- Integration
- Processes.
Users compose processes by connecting multiple service instances using visual tools, while the SOAIF provides the run-time deployment infrastructure across the network for running the application and process. An SOAIF lets business analysts create, deploy, manage, and change processes spanning multiple enterprise applications, departments, and partners.
SOAIFs address the needs of process management at the application, human-interaction, and implementation levels.
