SERVICE-ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE

Assess Your Investment
Sense Corp has the expertise to assess if service-oriented architecture (SOA) can add value in your environment and to help you leverage an investment in web services both internally and externally.

Web Services Extend the Life and ROI for Applications
Web Services utilize service-oriented architectures, which provide new business value by extending the life and ROI of legacy applications, while at the same time reducing the costs of developing new functionality. Many companies have discovered that by "wrapping" existing applications and exposing them as web services, their previous investment in technology can be leveraged to deploy new applications more quickly.

In response to trends toward an open architecture, most Business Intelligence (BI) and enterprise applications vendors are designing their software with the service-oriented architecture in mind. By providing this capability, software vendors are enabling platform-independent, point-to-point integration at the application layer.

SOA architecture also enables new data delivery capabilities and BI application control. With traditional BI tools, the outputs are delivered as a report published to end-users. The next generation of BI tools is enabling other enterprise applications and external partners to leverage business intelligence information according to their needs.
