Aviation and Service Oriented Architecture

Abstract

Since the airline industry is one of the most volatile industries being continuously affected by macro-micro forces in the environment, it is imperative that the information infrastructure be flexible and agile to business changes. This paper explores the Service Oriented Architecture based IT reorganisation strategy within the information technology department of AirlineCo, a leading airline company, to handle the volatile business environment of the airline. Current challenges in the AirlineCo's IT information delivery life cycle are analysed in line with this new architectural strategy.
