Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

At a Glance

The pressure is ever-increasing on government agencies to deliver better services to their citizens, while lowering costs. An SOA can provide integration across organizational boundaries, reduce overlapping business processes, and reduce or even eliminate redundant applications. All of which can have a significant impact on a agency's ability to reduce costs and streamline operations and move towards a more collaborative government.

Key Benefits

• Consolidate and integrate multiple data sources to create a single citizen experience
• Enable existing applications to share information and data
• Provide a single point of entry for online citizen self-service
• Lower operational costs by enabling cross-agency information sharing
