SOA Business Alignment

business flowSignificant opportunities to use IT as a business enabler often fall short because information and functionality are isolated in specific parts of the organisation.

The close alignment with business processes and work (design for people) and adaptability to business change (build for change) requires a set of tools to help enterprise applications adapt to current and future challenges. These tools are already available through Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Business Process Management (BPM), but often the current business and IT strategy are missing in the framework for SOA.

What we do

Intelligent Pathways combines advanced architectures and integration tools to break these barriers, unleashing significant improvements to business performance, while preserving existing technology investments.

Our consultants work with your business analysts, architects and stakeholders to align business objectives with technology choices, and help you define and deliver IT in terms of business services that line-of-business managers can understand.

How you'll benefit

You can then have confidence in our assessment of Return on Investment (ROI) through SOA based on real world results by:

  • reviewing our portfolio of business success stories to identify any possible leverage

  • set realistic ROI targets through our technical reality and feasibility checks

  • use our experience to pace yourself on your SOA roadmap.

Once your business starts on the road to SOA, you'll see the benefits extend beyond a particular project or ROI, but in terms of overall performance of the organisation.
