Adopting a Service-Driven Approach
Globalization has opened new opportunities while at the same time introduced powerful and fast-moving new competitors. Customers demand more choices and better service. Governments have imposed more stringent business and safety regulations. Transportation providers must find ways to reduce costs, to improve operational and supply chain efficiencies, and to respond more quickly to changing market conditions.
In addition to adopting new business process models and modernizing their applications, transportation companies can also benefit greatly by implementing an IT architecture that is focused on the rapid, efficient delivery of vital transportation-related services. A service-oriented architecture (SOA) lays the crucial foundation needed for success in today’s fast-paced and competitive transportation sector.
