SOA Infrastructure Market in Communications Industry 2008-2012

30 June 2009, Pages-13

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural approach that enables IT to integrate, interoperate, and manage software, data, and processes across all types of applications. Resources in an SOA environment are made available as independent services that can be accessed without the knowledge of underlying platform implementation. With this approach, new applications can be built from existing functionality to support the requirements of software users, and services can be assembled and reassembled quickly to create new applications to meet business needs.

Communication Service Providers (CSPs) today are facing several challenges such as increasing competition from Internet service providers, proliferation of convergent services and increased costs due duplication of application silos and other resources. In addition, increasing customer demand for new flexible services, regulatory compliance and the need for increased security is driving telecom organizations to adopt SOA to enable faster creation of new services without sacrificing the uptime of the underlying network. Further, CSPs are beginning to adopt SOA infrastructure to introduce IT governance with their IT environment and enable sharing of underlying applications and resources as ‘services’ with other service providers, and hence reduce costs and the time-to-market new services.
