Taking Legacy Applications to SOA
SOA Enablement with BluePhoenix provides the CIO a path to true value-driven modernization. SOA should not stop at strategic level of just "get the immediate job done," but rather should take a long-term, 360 degree approach to modernization.
Due to the inflexibility of "Silo" legacy application architectures, numerous CIOs find themselves caught in a "spider web." They must commit so much effort, money and resources to merely sustain their current level of operations, while the business units continue to ask for incremental value. The Service Oriented Architecture, as a well planned IT architectural model, for first time offers a systematic solution to this strategic problem of operation-driven strain in the IT department. SOA can actually free your resources up, letting them refocus attention to business improvement cycles.
Best practice for an organization-wide SOA adoption plan is a well-structured, value-driven modernization program. BluePhoenix SOA enablement is tailored to help you reach this goal and to provide you with the components you need the most.
Custom-tailored Enterprise SOA Workshop
The current SOA marketplace is multi-dimensional - not every product and/or methodology suits your needs and maturity level. The early phase of adoption is often the most critical. It is fundamentally important in this initial investment to align the needs of the organizational ecosystem with the current technology offering. Our SOA workshop is a great way to get your organization started in this process and includes:
- an overview of Service Oriented Architecture and related enterprise architecture disciplines and methodologies, including governance, analysis and design
- a vendor-neutral review of existing SOA technology and "best-of-breed" architecture patterns and tools needed to build your service network and portfolio
- beginning the process of identifying SOA opportunities within your organization
In addition, BluePhoenix will work with you to outline the methodology, determine the scope of the various opportunities, optimize the IT systems to align with the business needs, and gap analysis. This workshop can be the start of an effective enterprise-wide modernization roadmap.
