Flexibility is critical in today’s competitive market. But in a recent survey of leading CIOs, only one-third of the respondents were satisfied with their ability to adapt to business change. What’s to blame? Hard-coded business processes. Locked-in applications. And layers of rigid, incompatible IT.

How do you get flexible? For many organizations, the answer is a service-oriented architecture (SOA). Start simply and build at your own pace – piece-by-piece or all-at-once.
