SOA Policy overview

Policy management plays a key role in governing policies in a structured and consistent manner. Policies can be used to enable better governance in any service-oriented environment. Service Orientated Architecture (SOA) practices help businesses to identify and focus on the key services of the business. By adding policies, we add points of control and agility for business and information technology. The result is that SOA more consumable, improving time-to-value for business users with reduced costs for their projects, and accelerates the adoption of SOA solutions.

A policy is an independent element that can be applied to one or many resources, including different services. The assignment of the policy and any associated metadata, especially in a distributed environment, can take place at a variety of enforcement points and decision points.
