Safeco is an Insurance company, headquartered in Seattle which provides auto, homeowners and small-business policies. In early 2006, Safeco initiated the development of a Service Oriented Architecture to support the business in two strategic areas: new product development and business process improvements. The task of supporting these teams from an IT perspective was challenging because new products, solutions and improvements are often specified without consideration for department or system boundaries. Furthermore, Safeco needed to improve significantly our response time to deliver solutions in order to meet market and financial goals, while lowering our implementation costs.
The development team at Safeco got together to write a case study about their experiences applying SOA and how they used enabling technologies SCA, BPEL, and composite application approaches to reuse legacy code, enable runtime modifiability thanks to decoupling, Java and .NET interoperability, and the ability to deliver a complex solution integrating over 5 systems in less than 8 weeks with a small team.
