The ability to readily change and optimize business processes is the key to organizational competitiveness and growth. Organizational agility can be compromised when supporting IT assets cannot flexibly respond to changing business needs. Unlocking IT resources from their application silos and making their functionality broadly available across the organization promotes both business process optimization and organizational agility. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a design approach that promotes better alignment of IT with business needs, enabling both IT and the Business to more quickly respond and adapt to changing business pressures and opportunities.
Microsoft's SOA and Business Process portfolio includes a broad array of offers spanning Business Strategy, IT Strategy and Solution Delivery. This portfolio provides IT professionals, architects and developers with the guidance, technologies and tools for scoping, designing, building and maintaining SOA and Business Process solutions. It also provides them with personal productivity software that enables business users to streamline and optimize business processes in a manner that increases productivity, lowers costs and promotes organizational agility.
