Abstract: SOA Operations Excellence with Progress Actional
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) provides a new level of agility to businesses and IT. In an SOA, the software for a business process is composed of "services," components consisting of discrete business functionality that can be recombined and reused in different business processes, enabling rapid business change.
However, to receive the full benefit of an SOA, it must also offer reliable and cost-effective operations and meet commitments for customer service. This white paper examines the challenges of and solutions for effectively managing SOA operations.
Learn about:
- SOA best practices—and how to overcome the obstacles to successful SOA operations to achieve them.
- Monitoring an SOA—including key capabilities for finding and tracking individual services and their interactions across the complex, dynamic SOA environment.
- Managing SOA problems—through centralized policy management and distributed policy evaluation and alerting and with low performance impact
