Enterprise Service Oriented Architecture

Enterprise Service-Oriented Architecture (Enterprise SOA)

Enterprise SOA is a blueprint for an adaptable, flexible, and open IT architecture for developing services-based, enterprise-scale business solutions. With SAP NetWeaver as a technical foundation, enterprise SOA moves IT architectures to higher levels of adaptability -- and moves companies closer to the vision of real-time enterprises by elevating Web services to an enterprise level.

An enterprise service is typically a series of Web services combined with business logic that can be accessed and used repeatedly to support a particular business process. Aggregating Web services into business-level enterprise services provides a more meaningful foundation for the task of automating enterprise-scale business scenarios.
