What is SOA and Why is it Important?
Oracle's Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Suite is a way of integrating disparate software systems and applications so they communicate seamlessly. Organizations implementing SOA Suite, Oracle's recommended SOA platform, are quickly realizing the benefits, which include greater organizational and business process efficiency, lower operational costs, and greater flexibility.

During the workshop, CedarCrestone Consultants will introduce the concept of Service-Oriented Architecture and its business benefits, deepen understanding of the basic concepts and principles underpinning the SOA methodologies. Real-world examples, exercises, live demonstrations, and case studies will be used to show what SOA is and how it can best be applied. Time will be given to evaluating your organization's current architecture, priorities, and projects to determine "SOA readiness", applicability and next steps. Our objective is to help you select the initial SOA project that will earn the greatest success.
Upon completion of the workshop, your organization should possess the following:
- A general understanding of basic SOA principles, methodology, and concepts including Oracle's SOA
- Maturity Model methodology, Service Design considerations, SOA Design Patterns, and SOA Governance
- An understanding of how Oracle SOA solutions map to the SOA concepts described above
- Knowledge of how Oracle ERP Applications (as well as custom and third-party applications) integrate with these solutions
- An understanding of how current ERP applications leverage SOA
- An understanding through case studies of how other organizations are utilizing SOA to realize their vision
- A clear picture of your organization's SOA "readiness" and a deployment plan for your first SOA project
