Eqos Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
Effectively managing global sourcing processes requires the ability to proactively manage enterprise business processes and work collaboratively with a multitude of suppliers and trading partners that have very different systems and levels of IT expertise. Forward thinking retail IT executives are implementing SOA strategies to tackle this issue. SOA enables newer applications 'layer over' legacy systems, thereby supporting network-wide business processes, consolidated data stores, and executive-level decision making.
Eqos was designed as a set of service layers for the very same objectives that SOA sets out to achieve, namely an easier to assemble IT solution to the problems at hand. Eqos fits into an SOA and supports the retailer's creation of an SOA architecture.
