[OFBiz] Users - the ROI of SOA - networkworld article

[Si Chen-2]

Here's a network world article about the Service-Oriented Architecture:
http://www.networkworld.com/techinsider/2005/101005-roi-of-soa.html

Might be helpful as a reference if you're talking to people about OFBiz
and the advantages of the SOA in OFBiz.

For anyone pursuing this, it's a great selling point for OFBiz, but  
it is important to distinguish between SOAP and related standards  
(which OFBiz does support) and the concept of an internal SOA, which  
is the concept behind the OFBiz Service Engine. The biggest benefit  
of an internal SOA is that the applications are written in service  
oriented style so external/SOAP/etc style SOA corporate architectures  
are very easy for OFBiz to support, and in some cases requires no  
service writing or mapping effort, in other cases it is just service  
mapping code (or tools that many corporate SOA environments include).  
So, the biggest benefit in OFBiz comes from the fact that everything  
is naturally service oriented and you don't have to have a object-
service mapping layer with a bunch of code there (just like you don't  
have to have a object-relational mapping layer). This saves a LOT of  
code and time and money and potential problems.

Thanks for the article links Si, looks good.
