A discussion of the business value of SOA and composite applications is actually two discussions. First, what is the business value of composite applications?

A discussion of the business value of SOA and composite applications is actually two discussions. First, what is the business value of composite applications? More specifically, how do composite applications help you streamline business processes, reduce operational costs, increase customer service responsiveness and better support the creation and delivery of new products and services?

Second, what is the business value of SOA and how can SOA technology and techniques reduce the cost, time, effort and risk associated with building your composite applications?

Sun experts will provide you with a model for better understanding the business impact of SOA-based composite applications. This discussion will help you:

  • Size the business impact of composite applications
  • Avoid the pitfalls that have undermined many early attempts at this type of modeling
  • Calculate the impact of using SOA, instead of point-to- point links, to support composite application development
