An information architecture that exposes logical data views and promotes the practical use of heterogeneous data sources can generate dramatic ROI. But companies undertaking SOA initiatives often focus solely on application integration, neglecting both the integration of data within those applications and the data's business context. That neglect undermines data agility and directly affects enterprise agility and ROI. Data-services implementation raises the issue of data agility directly. Data services act as a single point of access for unifying and normalizing information. The resulting increase in data agility allows executives to think beyond immediate data needs, providing them with greater flexibility to respond to - and even anticipate - business challenges.
