SOA Made Simple With EGL

Overview Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has become the catchphrase of many vendors and consultants throughout the IT industry. What is SOA? In a nutshell, SOA is the creation of small reusable components of application systems that isolate logical functionality.

Functions or services provided by external parties can be integrated with internally developed systems.
