Service Oriented Architecture
Companies have invested huge sums of money in a variety of disconnected systems. Some companies have gone through the painful and costly task of implementing huge enterprise systems to solve this, only to find that their business requires that existing systems still remain that are critical to business functionality. According to analysts, only 7% of technology functionality purchased is ever used. The solution for most firms should not require a complete reinvestment of technology, but to use what is in place more effectively.
At Primehaven, we work with clients to explore ‘Rip and Reuse’ strategies. Instead of just making do with solutions that have been bolted together or putting in new systems to address the existing shortcomings, organizations should look to repurpose the decades of data and functionality that is currently isolated across the business. This is achieved through Service Oriented Architectures.
Service Oriented Architecture is a combined technical and process approach that allows firms to couple, uncouple and recombine their internal and external information assets and resources quickly and easily using standards based methodologies (such as SOAP, XLM, BPML). Through the use of service-oriented architectures and web services, this legacy information can be combined dynamically to create applications and business processes to both internal and external constituents within the business. We view this technology evolution as Business Process Reengineering 2.0.
As with most enterprise initiatives, Service Oriented Architectures will require tight integration of technology and business resources and goals to be successful. Primehaven’s approach involves decomposing your business requirements and existing technology portfolio to prioritize the processes and related technologies that can integrated to provide immediate value with a long term vision.
