It is a common challenge: Multiple channels lead to multiple solutions which result in the inability to react to market changes. How can that competitive edge be regained without a long, expensive wholesale replacement of business software? A pragmatic approach to implementing new capabilities using service oriented architecture principles is the solution. This presentation will discuss several different types of multi-channel integration challenges that have been overcome by retailers applying a pragmatic approach to implementing Service Oriented Architecture principles.
