Description

Much has been made of the business benefits offered by adopting a Service-Oriented Architecture. But can we really find those benefits? Have companies been able to realize the promise of SOA? What about the converse – can we identify situations where SOA does not add value?

The aim of the SOA Case Studies project is to produce a set of documented SOA case studies. This will help both business and technical people to gain a better understanding of SOA.

The project is now in maintenance mode. The project team is no longer actively working on further case studies, but submissions of new case studies to be added to the set may be accepted.

Deliverables

• Descriptions of and pointers to SOA case studies (see Standards and Drafts)
