Service-oriented architecture (SOA) and Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) are being used to tie together vertical real estate applications at Move Inc., an online service for everything from home buying and renting to the logistics of relocating.
Through mergers and acquisitions, the online service has brought together websites for customers looking for existing home sales, new homes, rentals and senior housing as well as support services such as arranging a move. "Our company is focused on the real estate business and anything to do with it," said Mike Remedios, CTO at Move Inc.
Having joined the company in the past month, Remedios is focused on what he terms "pragmatic SOA." The immediate task is to integrate a variety of acquired legacy applications to provide a single view of all the data relating to customers and their real estate transactions.
