Services > SOA Consulting Services

business networkThere's a growing realisation that Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) can fundamentally change the way business systems are created and managed. Recent research from IDC indicates that 30% of Australian companies have started using SOA to architect their applications, with the figure predicted to double over the next 5 years.

SOA is the missing link between enterprise architecture and solutions architecture because it bridges the gap between IT and business through well defined, transferable frameworks, patterns and processes - regardless of the platform or programming language.

By using Intelligent Pathways' assistance and best practice recommendations, we can help you to set up the appropriate infrastructure, processes and governance structures to manage SOA, along with its varied implementation technologies. Through the establishment of a service blueprint, we can address business and technology objectives and guide you on whether to take a process-driven (top down) or application-driven (bottom up) approach. Importantly, we pursue each SOA initiative based on where you are in the SOA lifecycle.

To help clients prepare for the inevitable shift to SOA while reaping the early benefits, Intelligent Pathways offers a combination of skilled expertise and evolutionary planning and implementation services.

Whether you need help in defining and implementing the core foundation, or are seeking governance frameworks to make your SOA successful, our consulting services are designed to meet your organisation's ever changing needs. Wherever your organisation is in its SOA journey, Intelligent Pathways helps you connect the right people and processes with your services.
