Abstract
The globalization of businesses and markets forces enterprises to act promptly, to form strategic alliances, to merge with other enterprises, even with competitors, to find new forms of management and production, new opportunities and forms of businesses, new possibilities of promotion for market promotion and new ways of transmitting and processing data, especially in the area of information and communication technologies.
New and challenging problems arise or the business environment, as well as for the developers of information systems. They include the necessity to be flexible and adaptable to deal with market change, to be efficient in resource allocation and use, including the IT infrastructure, and to be anticipative.
Under these circumstances, the new concept of Services-Oriented Architectures (SOA) comes as a response to these challenges, providing solutions for business development, information systems adaptation and integration.
The article presents some of the elements that characterize this type of architectures,providing examples for the most commonly used software instruments on the software market.
