Service-Oriented Architecture: Implications for Government and Industry  (Jul 2008)

This report examines the drivers, challenges, and implications of SOA within the federal technology market, and provides recommendations and strategies for contractors looking for SOA opportunities.

Description

As the federal government works to modernize its IT foundations, reduce costs, and improve mission effectiveness, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is emerging as a powerful tool for changing how government delivers services. In some ways, SOA explodes the concept of the application into a highly dynamic and fluid marketplace of services.

The incremental progress of SOA will impact the federal technology environment on many levels – from acquisition strategies and program lifecycles to governance and organizational culture. By understanding the implications of SOA - from both the industry and government perspective - contractors have the opportunity to help shape government’s perception of SOA and its potential role in meeting mission objectives.

The report includes:

• SOA drivers and challenges in the federal government
• Implications of SOA for industry (particularly acquisitions, software developers, and systems integrators)
• Recommendations for maximizing SOA opportunities
