The document discusses how System i environments can adopt a service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach. It describes how SOA can help address issues like increasing complexity, changing user expectations, and high maintenance costs by taking a more modular and standards-based approach. Key aspects of SOA discussed include exposing business functions as reusable services, defining service interfaces, and using an enterprise service bus for interoperability. The document argues that with the right tools, skills, and approach, System i environments can leverage SOA to modernize applications and keep the platform relevant.

Editor's Notes
- For a typical System i shop – with a single primary server platform, reams of inhibiting RPG code and a shoestring budget – it can be easy to discount the relevance of new and over-hyped concepts like SOA. But this concept should be closely examined by organisations that run on System i because, contained within a grand vision, there are practical and low-cost steps that can be applied today for: - Modernising RPG or COBOL applications - Reducing application development and maintenance costs - Lowering the cost of integrating different systems - Accelerating the delivery of new applications This presentation will give practioners the guidance they need to develop a plan for SOA adoption. Special consideration is given to the constraints under which organisations with a substantial commitment in System i technologies must work to protect and extend their legacy investments.
