Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has brought about dynamic changes in the way companies manage their business processes. Web services allow different applications to communicate with each other outside an organization, while SOA is the overall architectural style that allows for shared or reusable services.
By 2010 ERP customers will turn to less-expensive offshore integrators to build SOA applications that sit atop their ERP backbone.
But while SOA will probably impact current ERP functionality, the result might be that more ERP vendors retool their offerings to target more business-value processes of a company.
Look out for more interesting updates in the next issue of Publishing/Media IDeaS.
