Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a management and software-architecture concept for creating IT architecture more flexibly and efficiently. An SOA approach will help to separate what needs to be done (the 'services') from who (or which IT system) does it and where. This enables companies to achieve enormous flexibility for quickly reacting to market demands, technological developments and other business goals. In addition, the planned interaction (orchestration) of 'simple' services is used to create 'premium' services.

HOOD will support you in capturing and modelling your business processes (e.g. with BPMN) by analysing existing IT architecture, in establishing enterprise architecture frameworks, defining suitable SOA processes and in modelling using the OMG standard SoaML.
