SOA and Message Queue Integration

Organizations are challenged to improve operational efficiency, streamline processes and be more agile. Using a service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach helps IT ensure that various applications can communicate with each other to better meet changing business requirements. SAS Data Management Advanced delivers easily maintainable data services that enable developers to build sophisticated data services once and deploy them across the enterprise for reuse.

Message queue integration is another way to reduce maintenance, integration costs and bridge new technologies. Using SAS Data Management Advanced, you can access message queues in batch or real time without the need for custom programming. Integration developers simply treat message queues as any other source and target.
