Business Oriented Architecture is the combination of business process management (BPM), interoperable applications and functions, service-oriented architecture (SOA), and high performance network-based distributed computing.[1][2][3][4][5] It exposes, connects, and leverages enterprise assets.[1][6][7][8]

Business models

BOA is an Enterprise Architecture approach that focuses on the designing business models that are aligned to an organization's strategy.

The current theory of BOA allows a company to design and integrate critical business architecture components, such as capabilities, processes, customers, employees, channels, and products with IT application, data, and technology architectures.

Strategic management

BOA is driven by business goals, business objectives, customer expectations, and definitions of business challenges.[7][9] BOA systems let clients “design, deploy, and operate entire business workflows or operating models” by integrating several technologies and functions.[4][5][9]

Management

BOA is focused on managing and integrating critical business processes. It includes:

  • objectives & strategy
  • assessment
  • solution modeling
  • solution analysis
  • implementation
  • analysis and optimization[6][9]

When considered as a mix of multiple disciplines--including BPM, BI, and SOA--business oriented architecture involves the IT-facing components of SOA (directory services, data services, application services, security services, partner services), the business-facing, process-improvement components of BPM (business event monitoring, human activity management, process choreography, simulation, and optimization), and analytical disciplines (BI, predictive, and rules) for end-to-end application and operating models.[2][5][10]

Benefits

  • Successful BOA leads to faster, cheaper, and more effective process improvement, application development and deployment, and increased integration of the enterprise.[1][9][11]
  • New BOA structures integrate legacy applications and assets in a single interoperable framework for increased leverage, reuse, and longevity of assets.[5][10]
  • Unified Interoperability models integrate assets and solutions across a network for the creation of virtualized operating models and solutions.[5][10]
