SERVICE ORIENTED TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT TO IMPROVE ORGANIZATIONAL AGILITY

The service orientation - coupled with dynamic choreography of business processes, service oriented architectures and service oriented infrastructures - is a developing structure that carries with it the potential to improve agility in today's complex business environments.

In this article, we established an integrated assessment process for creating an organizational roadmap to realize visions of how to deliver reliable, scalable enterprise processes built upon services-computing.
