IT Architecture Consulting

Today we know that SOA indicates a paradigm change for software producers. What exactly does the SOA paradigm mean for business software users? Simply said, it is the separation of business applications into composites or applications that run visibly for the user and then SOA services that provide data and information in company wide systems as well as external systems.

In the IT department we have to make sure that software providers strictly follow these self-implied architecture principals. Our own staff and suppliers are summoned to tidy up and learn and apply these development principles. To drift away from it implies enormous costs.

So what is the benefit for you the organisation?

• The IT department identifies and provides sellable services for internal and external purposes and can bill them according to use. Your executives and business management will appreciate it.

• The reutilization effect of services will help to save costs. The growing globalisation will push up  the economies of scale.

• SOA will bring engineering approach into the IT. Engineers build systems and components and replace parts if necessary. This means the end of person dependent „artist manners“. Thus you will not be dependent of suppliers and employees anymore.

Companio AG develops their own SOA based applications since 2003 and for that purpose we have applied Java, XML, ABAP and web service implementations.

This practice helps us to offer well-founded services to our customers.
