Cutit Saws Ltd.

The justification for Cutit to invest in an SOA initiative was based on a very clear goal of wanting to take advantage of the recent increase in their product demand and to parlay this into prolonged revenue growth so as to position their company as a prime acquisition target.

The application of the foundational service patterns Functional Decomposition (300), Service Encapsulation (305), Agnostic Context (312), Non-Agnostic Context (319), and Agnostic Capability (324) helped Cutit define a set of services to automate their previously archaic supply-chain process. The resulting Inventory, Chain, Order, and Run Chain Inventory Transfer services were combined into a service-oriented solution that addressed the key goal of improving the automation of their inventory transfer process, while establishing individual services that were ready-made to adapt to future business change.
