The SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) Infrastructure team provides support for our IBM products/appliances (i.e. DataPower, MQ, IIB) that are widely used in the banking and financial services industry to provide services such as authentication, authorization, API management, message translation, and message queueing.  These services together represent the platform upon which web services can quickly and easily be developed and accessed/consumed both by internal applications or external clients.  The team ensures this platform is performing at peak capacity to avoid any business disruption.
