Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) - Goals
The primary goal of SOA is to make government services more accessible
to citizens and customers where state agencies work more efficiently and
effectively in the markets they serve.
The key in developing and implementing SOA, is to conduct a thorough
analysis of existing application systems that will reveal important
applications, functionality, and information assets that exist in
multiple locations that can be used as service components for enterprise
services.
In 2006, GITA held a series of SOA stakeholder awareness meetings to
increase the understanding of SOA concepts, approach and business value
for the state. At the conclusion of these sessions, GITA along with
agency leadership identified potential SOA projects. After a selection
process four
SOA
(multi-agency) pilot projects were identified to serve as models
or case studies.
