Service-Oriented Architecture
Service-oriented architecture is a concept for a system architecture in which functions are implemented in the form of reusable and technically independent and loosely coupled services. Independent of the respective technological background, the services can be called via interfaces. Service-oriented architecture makes it possible for companies to combine divided software systems, make their business processes flexible and changeable, and enable a quick-reacting mapping of changes. The interoperability is guaranteed with Open Standards.
