Integrating Philanthropy System in Indonesia Using Service-Oriented Architecture

In Indonesia, the most extensive philanthropy is related to zakat (obligation for Moslem to help poor people). The potential for zakat that continues to grow is not accompanied by the realization of zakat collection in the field. Based on the actual data on zakat collection, the zakat potential in 2015 is predicted to reach Rp. 286 trillion, in realization, only reached Rp. 3.7 trillion or less than 1.3 percent of its potential. One of the problems is the lack of system and institutional arrangements for zakat, limited synergy, integration, and cooperation in managing zakat nationally. The purpose of this research is to build integrated media by providing web services as an effort to increase synergy and cooperation between zakat institutions. The web service to be built uses a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). In contrast to traditional point-to-point, which requires similar technology between provider and receiver, SOA is independent of any particular technology or protocol. The results of this research are web services that can be called with different protocols and message formats.
