Documents/PGFSOA/Values


  • Value [1] Improved government responsiveness
    • By employing services to establish a flexible architecture centered on business and technology capabilities, the impact of change can be isolated and business processes can be more easily and rapidly modified to meet business and mission performance requirements.

  • Value [2] Simplified delivery of enhanced government services
    • SOA and the “service” business model enable collaboration by simplifying access to services and streamlined value chains across organizational boundaries.

  • Value [3] More efficient government
    • SOA facilitates mutually leveraged public and private sector investment; reuse of capability; elimination of undesirable redundancies; and a more focused model for on-going IT recapitalization.

  • Value [4] Information sharing
    • SOA provides an effective and efficient approach to implementing reusable data exchanges - taking logical interoperability coming from multiple data modeling activities and rapidly evolving it into physical interoperability.

  • Value [5] Transparency, security, and resilience
    • SOA is predicated on a shared, standards-based infrastructure. This will enable consolidation, simplification, and optimization of IT Infrastructure, which in turn will enable greater transparency and audit-ability, as well as improved continuity of operations.
