"I haven't met with any customers who said their top business concern is their inability to create services out of applications. What's missing in the conversation are real business problems clients need to solve today..."
-- Michael Liebow, Vice President, Web Services IBM Global Services
Challenges are numerous to be faced and it gets tougher day by day.Customers and shareholders pressurize more and more to drive growth.
In this kind of business environment, windows of opportunity open and close in the blink of an eye. For your business to thrive, you must be able to identify opportunities for growth and seize them. Responsiveness throughout your organization to changing market conditions must be more of a priority than it ever has been.
So what are the factors that limit your ability to transform your business? A recent survey of Fortune 500 companies indicated that over 80 percent had altered their business model in a given two-year period. Two-thirds of these -- roughly half of the total respondents -- claimed that this business change had been constrained by inflexible IT. For years, the problem has been building an IT infrastructure that is aligned to business needs. And in the rush to do this, perhaps something has been ignored: business needs change. For many companies, the problem isn't that IT investments aren't properly or sufficiently aligned with their business; it is that they are too wedded to today's business needs to be able to change to meet tomorrow's.
A service-oriented architecture works by abstracting business processes from the underlying application and IT systems to create services, such as "check customer credit" or "get account balance."
