Service-oriented architecture (SOA) has emerged as a vital aspect of many organisations’ IT strategy. SOA promises benefits such as greater flexibility, improved productivity and easier integration. But in an economic downturn, it is a technology that really comes into its own for supporting the essential combination of continuing innovation and reducing costs.

Smart use of SOA allows IT managers to create re-usable software that cuts development time on new projects and makes programmers’ time more productive. SOA helps to avoid the costly practice of ripping out old systems in their entirety, and instead allows a more flexible route to continuous innovation through technology – putting the goal of an agile business, ready to respond to a volatile market, within reach.

In this Computing web seminar, in association with IBM, we examine the tools, technologies and best practices that make SOA such an important consideration for IT managers during a downturn. Our panel of experts will discuss the benefits of SOA and how to make it work for your organisation, and a real-life case study will demonstrate how one organisation has put the principles into practice.
