Service-Oriented Integration is based on creating a catalogue of SOA Services that expose existing capabilities from back-end systems. Which statement best describes how an SOA Service relates to the existing back-end systems?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation/Reference:
The primary purpose of the Business layer in the architecture is to define and automate the business processes external to, and independent of, the specific backend systems used in the organization. This isolates the business process from backend system changes, and conversely, isolates the backend systems from business process changes.
De-coupling the business processes from the backend systems simplifies changes and maintenance for business processes and backend systems.
The Business layer generally provides the greatest and most measurable business value.
