SOA Service-oriented Architecture Fundamentals IBM CertificationJaguaraci Silva
The document discusses key concepts of service-oriented architecture (SOA) including:
- SOA defines and links reusable business services and provides orchestration of services in business processes.
- SOA is built on standards supported by major IT providers and uses web services to quickly build and interconnect services.
- SOA provides strong ability to change and align IT with business needs by making changes easier through disassembling and reassembling services.
Retail Case Study: HCLT optimizes operational it costs for a leading home fur...HCL Technologies
HCL optimized operational IT costs for a leading home furnishing retailer through a managed services partnership. This allowed the retailer to focus on its core business while HCL standardized processes, improved cost savings and flexibility. HCL reduced operational costs, improved supply chain forecasting accuracy, and increased service response times and SLA adherence. The long-term partnership helped the retailer streamline its IT landscape and achieve productivity gains.
SOA involves exposing business functions as reusable services. This allows for greater agility, flexibility and reuse of services across different applications. SOA breaks down monolithic applications into discrete services that can be accessed over the network in a standardized way. This trend is driving the development of loosely coupled, interoperable services that can be discovered and orchestrated to meet business needs.

This document discusses how software supply chain automation can help organizations meet the challenges of continuous delivery in the cloud using DevOps principles. It argues that supply chain should play a role in defining the DevOps architecture for cloud-based software delivery for several reasons: 1) Supply chain expertise in manufacturing draws parallels to delivering software; 2) Supply chain can contribute to the software delivery pipeline for continuous deployment and end-to-end traceability; 3) Supply chain can help with use cases like software licensing, version and defect management, and event monitoring to improve customer satisfaction. Defining the DevOps architecture with involvement from supply chain can help accelerate and improve the quality of software releases.

Re-engineering Applications for SaaS Enablement
Introduction
According to Gartner and IDC, by 2012 Software as a Service (SaaS) will be the dominant manner for purchas-
ing new business applications. Unfortunately, many traditional on-premise ISV's are struggling to transition to
a service based software delivery model. Among the many complexities involved in transitioning to SaaS,
application readiness is among the most important. SaaS applications are signi cantly di erent from stan-
dard business applications. Successful SaaS applications are built as multi-tenant, meta-data driven applica-
tions that are shared across multiple clients. These applications need to be scalable, robust, secure, and highly
available for business users to have con dence in these services.
At Ekartha, we help ISV's enable their applications for SaaS at a rapid pace. We work with you using a rigorous
framework to review your current application in order to assess risks, architecture issues, and development
constraints with respect to your SaaS enablement goals. We provide an array of services to address the com-
plete SaaS lifecycle, and help you release your service to the market with con dence.
