ITPEC FE Subject A October 2024 — Question 47 of 60

SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) is a concept of constructing a system by treating software functions as independent components called services and combining them to deliver business capabilities.

Think of it like microservices: each service has a clear interface and can be reused or replaced independently.

Why not others:
- (b) SFA (Sales Force Automation) — using IT to improve sales efficiency and customer satisfaction

- (c) BPR (Business Process Re-engineering) — radically redesigning business processes to improve cost, quality, service, and speed

- (d) Outsourcing / Core Competency strategy — outsourcing non-core operations to focus resources on core business

Key rule: SOA = system built by combining reusable, independent service components.
