Chapter 6. APPLYING SOA TO VARIOUS INDUSTRIES
Service orientation has been successfully applied to a wide range of enterprises in the private and public sectors. Organizations of all shapes and sizes have found service oriented architecture (SOA) to be a key ingredient in their information modernization and next-generation enterprises. Due to SOA's broad applicability to a variety of challenges in the modern enterprise, there are countless examples of SOA's applicability to various industries. This chapter will not attempt to address each one by any means. Instead, the aim is to address five major industry sectors and explore a couple of specific segments within each sector. Twenty-five specific examples of real-world SOA adoption will be highlighted. Finally, the chapter will conclude with some tips on how to apply SOA to other industries not mentioned in this material.
