This BLOG post is the fourth and final in a series of short articles on the changes in BSS and OSS architectures arising from the changing underlying data communications, middleware, and data modeling software technology. In the last posting, we looked at how the Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), designed with integration in mind, further dropped the interfacing costs. Here we
This BLOG post is the third in a series of short articles on the changes in BSS and OSS architectures arising from the changing underlying data communications, middleware, and data modeling software technology. In the last posting, we looked back at the effect of the introduction of Internet Protocol (or, more properly, TCP/IP) that allowed ‘islands’ of systems to start
This BLOG post is the second in a series of short articles on the changes in BSS and OSS architectures arising from the changing underlying data communications, middleware, and data modeling software technology. In the last posting, we looked back on the early days of OSS and BSS – in the 1970s and early 1980s when only huge systems, architected
Microservices, part of “cloud native” software architecture, are all the rage today. This Backgrounder post starts a series of short articles on the changes in BSS and OSS architecture arising from the changing underlying data communications, middleware, and data modeling software technology. Here, we look back on the early days of OSS and BSS – in the 1970s and 1980s.
