Merging Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL): Explore the Fusion of Two Emerging Concepts

Overview

SOA is an architectural framework consisting of a set of tools and technologies that enable the rapid implementation of services; a set of design patterns and standards for the development of services; and a methodology for finding, reusing/consuming, and exploiting services. SOA is the most promising framework today for changing the way Information Technology (IT) works - to make IT more agile and responsive to the business, more cost-effective, and more adaptive to the fast-changing business environment.
