Without a foundation of useable information, your service-oriented architecture is just a loose confederation of abstract business processes. It's your business information that delivers the value to your SOA. Information as a service is about providing a new level of services that helps add value to information contained in data sources across an organization. By treating information as a service, organizations can improve the relevance and cost effectiveness of their information, making information available to people, processes and applications across the business, and improving the operational impact information can have in driving innovation.
