Autonomous Services and Enterprise Entity Aggregation

Overview Enterprises depend on heterogeneous systems and applications to function. Each of these systems manages its own data and often doesn't explicitly expose it for external consumption. Many of these systems depend on the same basic concepts like customer and employee and, as a result, these entities have been defined in multiple places in slightly different ways. Entity aggregation embodies the business need to get a 360-degree view of those entities in one place. However, this business need is only one symptom of the larger issue: business/IT alignment. Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) have been hailed as the glue that would bring IT closer to business, yet the hype is already fading.
