Analytics Program
An analytics program needs software that can meet the specific business intelligence and analysis needs of your business if it is to provide useful information for decision making. Developing effective and adaptable business software for an analytics program can be difficult and expensive using traditional software design. Service oriented architecture (SOA) is a design concept that allows the development of new business applications in a short time using existing modules of functionality called services. By registering using our online form, you can find out more about how SOA can help the analytics program of your business with better software by gaining access to an online guidebook on service oriented architecture. You will also be contacted by a representative of Oracle to discuss how software developed with service oriented architecture can make your analytics program much more flexible in the kinds of information it can provide.
How can service oriented architecture reduce the costs of designing effective business intelligence software to provide better information on business objects for an analytics program?
One of the biggest problems with designing business software or retooling an existing business program to be more effective for a specific analytics program is that a designer must create new units of functionality which can take a very long time. This is despite the fact that the functionality that many businesses require for an analytics program can be quite similar. The problem is that the unique needs of each company mean that a single combination of functions will rarely suit every business without needing to provide a range of useless functions for each business. Service oriented architecture allows for the reuse of services between different applications so that essential units of functionality can be shared, and thus the costs of development can also be shared.
How adaptable is software designed on service oriented architecture principle if an analytics program changes to require even more information?
Service oriented architecture makes application design very adaptable. If your analytics program ends up needing a slightly more advanced tool than you initially thought, service oriented architecture really only requires that you find or design a service to accommodate the new functionality and then redesign the middleware so that the other services can communicate with this new service to meet your desired outcome. An analytics program can quite easily become more complex once it has provided information on areas of need within a business. Service oriented architecture allows for much more adaptability than traditional software design and redesign.
