8. Uncertainty and Risk Factors
• Challenges
– Shorter Product Development
– More geographically dispersed development team
– Greater Reliance on Partners and Suppliers
– Matching Supply and Demand
REASONS EXAMPLES
•Raw material shortages Aircraft Manufacturer inventory
•Internal and supplier parts write-down of $2.6 billion
shortages
•Productivity inefficiencies
•Sales and earnings shortfall Sales at Medical Devices
•Larger than anticipated inventories Manufacturer declined 25 percent,
resulting in a loss of $22 million
•Stiff competition Semi conductor chip manufacturer
•General slowdown in the PC market reported a 38 percent decline in
quarterly profit
•Higher than expected orders for Storage device manufacturer
new products over existing products missed its revenue guidance of
$2.66 billion for the second quarter
of 2006 by around $100 million

19. Service Oriented Architecture
• SOA
– Collection of Services
– Services
• Well Defined Self Contained
Defined,
• Does not depend on the Context or State
of other Services
– Services Communicate with each other
• Web Services
– Expose application functionality as services
– Allow other systems to synchronously invoke
them
– via SOAP protocol
• SOAP
– exchange of information in a decentralized and
distributed environment.
– It is an XMLbased protocol
