• Access services are dedicated to integrating legacy applications and functions into the service-oriented architecture.  This includes simple wrapping of those functions and rendering them as services, or in more complex cases augmenting the logic of the existing function to better meet the needs of the business design.
  • In some cases these are referred as Adapters
  • In the SOA Foundation architecture, access services are distinctly responsible for rendering these adapters as services so that they can be manipulated and composed within business processes like any other service component.
