Legal SOA (service oriented architecture) is one part of a larger reference architecture. The objective of Legal SOA is to continuously accelerate return on investment in legal production with reusable building blocks from which new business legal functionality can be assembled quickly and efficiently. SOA is different from traditional form books, loose-leaf update services and checklists because the IT industry as a whole supports the underlying technologies, giving SOA deep technological support and evolving a wide range of standards to make the idea really work. With SOA legal work drives toward a uniform collection of reusable but continuously improving parts, thereby enabling the rapid and efficient assembly of the new legal processes required to achieve significant competitive advantage.
SOA emerged within the IT community but it is not just about technology. It is a strategy for business transformation that has extensive organizational, procedural, and process implications. These factors aside, when focusing on the legal dimension of SOA, the critical success factor is to ensure that the necessary framework of tools and process architecture is in place.
A legal SOA reference architecture can be used as a blueprint for delivering success. Among other objectives, this reference architecture provides a checklist of the key functional areas required to achieve important competitive advantage.
