Service Oriented Architecture paradigm for Business Intelligence: A survey

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an arrangement of building blocks of any application in such a way that all dependent/independent components will be able to access/provide service to and from other components. The main objective of SOA is to sustain the availability of required services for components and provide a flexible environment for better efficiency. It is also capable of measuring the maturity of an organizational application by means of continuous assessment of activities. SOA in Business Intelligence (BI) has potential benefit to enhance the analysis capabilities over huge datasets, as enormous amounts of data are being generated by every organization whether industrial or domestic. This survey provides research on how SOA can improve the heavy processing of these data much efficiently and also gives the limitations of the traditional approach.
