LG Electronics purchased and has begun implementing Oracle SOA Suite to integrate its existing IT systems worldwide. The company plans to integrate its system interfaces based on an SOA and to make it a standard way of integrating its global infrastructure.

It is vital to have flexibility in the infrastructure so the business can constantly adapt to changing market demands,” said Rick Schultz, vice president, Oracle Fusion Middleware. “Companies such as LG Electronics view SOA as a competitive differentiator, and Oracle’s hot-pluggable software allows them to easily evolve heterogeneous IT systems toward a service-oriented architecture.
