SOA is here to stay! The continuing demand for business flexibility and agility, coupled with the technology push for convergence in the IT market, means that it is going to happen. The only question is how are you going to successfully implement it?
Atos Origin can provide the answer. Renowned for successfully delivering large complex global business and technology integration programs, within the constraints of time, quality and budget, we see the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) as the de-facto architectural pattern, providing a foundation for our solutions for the future. This approach delivers key benefits such as:
- Greater efficiency – especially during M&A and disentanglements
- Cost savings
- Greater business agility and faster time to market
- Increased visibility and value of business data
Drawing together our Consultancy, Systems Integration, Managed Operations and BPO capabilities, Atos Origin provides a complete range of SOA services and solutions that solve real business problems.
SOA Exploration and Assessment
Pragmatic consultancy to assess an organization’s readiness for implementing all aspects of SOA. Using our own Quickscan and ROI tools, and industry best practice, we support our clients in developing a realistic and achievable Business Case and SOA Implementation Strategy for their organization.
SOA Governance & Architecture
Using our proven approach to Enterprise Architecture we assist our clients to develop an SOA Roadmap, Architectural Blueprints and Service Ontology that will be used to manage and direct the adoption of SOA. We also assist in the establishment of a Governance structure for the client to ensure that they realize the benefits of SOA.
SOA Enabling Technologies & Techniques
Practical engineering and operational capabilities to assist clients in choosing the correct tools and techniques to underpin a successful SOA implementation. We provide independent and expert Platform Selection advice and implement a Security Framework in line with our Service Oriented Integration Methodology (SO-IM).
For clients who have already begun to deploy SOA concepts, we offer a Healthcheck to assess the business, technical and operational health of that deployment and identify steps required to take it from a departmental or tactical level to Enterprise scale usage.
SOA Transformation and Realization
Supporting the agility and efficiency required of an SOA realization through a network of Global Competency Centers. We also provide Test Services for SOA through our Test Factory, underpinned by best practice principles, and deep expertise of testing and understanding of SOA specific issues.
We offer Rich Client Development services and, within the area of Enterprise Applications, deliver a complete range of services in partnership with major vendors such as SAP & Oracle. This ensures that a client’s SOA imitative is closely aligned to the approach of these partners, with regard to best practice and technologies, and also brings to the table our broader SOA capability through our eSOA and Business Fusion offerings.
Sustaining Service Portfolio & Infrastructure
Here, Atos Origin provides 7x24 "follow the sun" infrastructure and application support through its global network and has unrivalled experience in major roll-out programs covering complex and multi-site solutions. Other key areas include Composite Applications built to support business processes that cross business functions, Business Process Benchmarking, domain specific business process re-engineering and service portfolio optimization and disposal.
Creating a Serviced Based Business
The Service Based Business allows an enterprise to view itself totally from the perspective of its customers, suppliers and other trading partners. The business value derived from this approach includes cost savings, flexibility and the ability to respond more quickly to marketplace changes.
