Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a collection of services on a network that communicate with one another. The services are loosely coupled (meaning that an application doesn't have to know the technical details of another application in order to talk to it), have well-defined, platform-independent interfaces, and are reusable.
Gartner estimates that by 2008, more than 60 percent of enterprises will use SOA as a "guiding principle" when creating mission-critical applications and processes.

Why consider SOA?
Cheaper - Reduce costs of integration solution Easier - Simplify integration and abstract the
underlying complexity Smarter - Eliminate redundancy Quicker - Improve time-to-market Flexible - Provide agility
Leads to providing improved or new integration with… Internal and external organizations…
From existing IT assets such as Peoplesoft …Overall improves value and ROI

Ways to implement SOA
Web Services SOAP and WSDL Fine-grained services Coarse-grained services
Enterprise Service Bus Messaging infrastructure
Adaptive Framework Technology-independent services provided over
one or many integration channels: Internet, ESBs, Brokers, etc…

Ways to integrate with PeopleSoft
The ways to integrate with Peoplesoft is continuously “evolving”
7.x • Message Agent - synchronous API into application
8.1x• Component Interface (CI) - synchronous API into application• Application Messaging - asynch I/O (includes Gateway)• Business Interlinks - synchronous out of PS to external app
(decremented)
8.4x• Component Interface still there• Integration Broker (re-branded Application Messaging)
• asynch & synchronous I/O• Data transform via xslt• Can pass SOAP to Component Interface (SOAP to CI) - 8.42+
