Could SOA save local public sector services?
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a design philosophy allowing a loosely integrated suite of software services to be used by programmers to build online applications quickly. Once written, such services can be reused by other applications, saving time and money.

Alasdair Mangham, head of information systems and development at the London Borough of Camden, said the borough expects 15-23 per cent of its budget to be axed. “That will change the game for how local authorities deliver services,” said Mangham. “The only thing you can cut back is people.”

Public sector spending cuts could force cloud service rollouts through service-oriented architecture.
