Service-Oriented Architecture Information Center

The SEI has become a voice of sanity in helping organizations to sift through the claims about SOA adoption. —Grace Lewis, Technical Lead, SEI SoS Engineering

Welcome to our service-oriented architecture (SOA) information center. Use this information center as a guide to tools, services, courses, and areas of work that can help you develop insight into how best to approach SOA environments.
