Integration Of Software Applications In Small-medium Sized Enterprises Based On SOA Architecture

Information technology featuring new techniques and network communication techniques has brought about significant changes to technical skill,methods,and even concepts.It has been playing a very important role in enterprise operating,even in organization structure. Nowadays,with the supporting of IT Techs,small-medium enterprises(SME) grow very quickly.With these SMEs growing,a lot of problems left over from the past,when various application systems were designed,many compatibility issues arise,preventing the transfer of data and effective communication between application systems,thus leaving us many isolated information islands.The thesis offers a detailed analysis and the present situation on the application of IT in one SME(a corporation in charge of container shipping).Its aim is to overcome the disadvantages of multi-account management and the inability to share information among different software platforms.The use of XML will meet the requirement of one-stop service among different software platforms,and with the help of Web Service,information sharing between different software platforms will be realized.This thesis provides a systematic structure backed by an authoritative system,which has made integration possible for the end-users,not only in application,but in service and working process as well.It plays an integrative role in application system integration.
