Zusammenfassung: | Everyone involved in information technology (IT) at higher education institutions around the world have likely heard of service-oriented architecture (SOA). Simply put, SOA presents well-defined business functions as services, which are made available to multiple applications through standard protocols. Using SOA, institutions can integrate business functions into new and interesting applications.
