Goals and Benefits of Service-Oriented Computing
|
Reduced IT Burden
Consistently applying service-orientation results in an IT enterprise with reduced waste and redundancy, reduced size and operational cost, and reduced overhead associated with its governance and evolution. Such an enterprise can benefit an organization through dramatic increases in efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
In essence, the attainment of the previously described goals can create a leaner, more agile IT department; one that is less of a burden on the organization and more of an enabling contributor to its strategic goals.
Figure: If you were to take a typical automated enterprise and redevelop it entirely with custom, normalized services, its overall size would shrink considerably, resulting in a reduced operational scope.
