Infor Open SOA

Infor Open SOA, is a unique, event-driven service-oriented architecture
(SOA) that leverages an industry standard business language to distribute
data between Infor solutions and other systems. Infor Open SOA provides a
standards-based approach for integration of both Infor and non-Infor systems
and data sources. Through Infor Open SOA, Infor customers can rapidly and
economically add Infor, third-party and in-house software applications
without the need to “rip-and-replace” software or interrupt other systems
during operations, a key benefit to Infor Open SOA. Infor Open SOA allows
future component-based enhancements to Infor solutions to be delivered in the
same non-disruptive manner, easing the implementation process for future
technology integrations.
