Problems and Solutions of Service Architecture in Small and Medium Enterprise Communities
Lack of resources is a challenge for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in
implementing an IT-based system to facilitate more efficient business decisions
and expanding the market. A community system based on service-oriented
architecture (SOA) can help SMEs alleviate this problem. This paper explores
and analyses the frameworks proposed by previous studies in the context of
inter-enterprise SOA for SMEs. Several problems being the background of the
system implementation are identified. Afterward, the offered solutions are
presented, including the system architecture, technology adoption, specific
elements, and collaboration model. The study also discusses the system
architecture patterns of the reviewed studies as well as the collaboration
organizational structures.Comment: 19 pages, 4 figures, 3 table
