Asset Managers

Asset managers are important to making sure your business runs with the lowest overheads. Asset management software acting as asset managers can be expensive to design for your specific needs using traditional software design for asset managers. Service oriented architecture (SOA) offers an alternative, application focused design method that can see the costs of designing custom applications plummeting. Register using our online form and you will receive online guidebooks detailing the basics of service oriented architecture and how it can be used to create effective business tools and asset managers. You will also be contacted by a representative of Oracle to further your understanding of service oriented architecture and to discuss the use of SOA to design your company better asset managers.

How does service oriented architecture work?

Service oriented architecture differs from other forms of software development by focusing on function and application rather than on the design of new software. By using and reusing modules of functionality called services in order to meet the needs of a particular application, design resources need only be spent on finding the right services to use and then writing the middleware to have the services interoperate effectively.

How do asset managers benefit from service oriented architecture?

Asset managers can require flexibility, as over time asset management will usually become more complex as inventory increases and the variety of assets requires more entries in databases and other asset management software. As new functionality can be included by finding services that will provide it, new applications can be created to supplement asset managers or existing applications can be adjusted to improve asset managers.

How does service oriented architecture make designing new asset managers less expensive?

Asset managers that are designed in-house will likely have similar elements of functionality to asset managers used by other companies. While the end product may be unique, its component functionalities may all be available in existing asset managers. Every company designing the same software takes on the full development costs of creating that software using traditional design methods.

Service oriented architecture allows an SOA focused company like Oracle to spread design costs amongst many clients by creating services and applications instead of new software for every business. By developing flexible services that can meet the functionality needs of the asset managers of many businesses, important software functionality can be reused, potentially costing all the users of that functionality for their asset managers less in the process.
