Solving the SOA Data Dilemma
|
A recent study by analyst firm IDC estimates that the average company has 49 applications in 14 different databases, which need to be integrated, and typically has no more than 20 percent of its customer data residing in any one location. IDC also reports that over the next three years the world's data will increase six fold annually. At most companies, the number of systems continues to grow, not shrink, which is exacerbating the problem of data proliferation.
Most business leaders agree that data is a critical strategic asset, yet effective management of information has remained elusive. The core of the problem is an inability to easily share data between systems or make systems work better together. By properly employing a services-oriented architecture (SOA), enterprises can leverage their existing systems, while largely leaving them alone, and create a new integration solution for more effective information sharing across disparate applications.
