Matrix moves to SOA

Matrix vehicle tracking is in the process of moving from accidental architecture to a service-oriented architecture.

01 November 2007

Local vehicle tracking company Matrix found itself in a position – thanks to a series of acquisitions – where it had what IT operations manager Quinton Pienaar calls “an accidental architecture”. Over time, the company had integrated certain databases and applications without knowing what it wanted to achieve.

“What we`re aiming to achieve now with the business and SOA is an architecture we can take forward and manage on a service level, not an application level. This will mean we can look at what the business needs and not necessarily the technology,” he says.
