The Importance of Information to SOAInformation as a Service is Key

Getting the right data quickly and consistently for all applications continues to be a key challenge for many enterprises.

Forrester, January 2006

You will waste your investment in SOA unless you have enterprise information that SOA can exploit.

Gartner, March 2005



Tight Coupling of Data to Workflow Locks You In

Inconsistency in the “view” of the data

Inconsistency in sources and how data is derived

Inconsistency in rules applied to data

Multiple points of maintenance

No flexibility to change information sources and formats
