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.

This article discusses the service-oriented architecture, how it works, and how schools may benefit from it.
