How the Feds must rethink software design principles to better serve users abroad.

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), the definition of grouping functionality around business processes and packaging them as interoperable services, is ideal for most government and military technology environments. This practice allows different applications to exchange data with one another by loosely connecting services with operating systems, programming languages and other technologies that underlie applications. These services communicate with each other by passing data or coordinating an activity with other systems. SOA affords agencies the ability to take advantage of new technologies and respond to end-user demands more quickly and cost-effectively.
