Full Service SOA

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is one of the most talked about concepts for organizations looking to consolidate and optimize their disparate business processes today. Unsurprisingly, it is also linked in one way or another to almost every enterprise-level IT project conducted over the past few years. Companies have seen significant potential for long term savings through a forward-thinking approach to normalizing and exposing their business functions and capabilities as reusable and manageable assets, across the enterprise.

Full Service SOA is Amentra's holistic approach to transforming organizations through a service-oriented architectural approach that addresses the three most important drivers of enterprise IT success: people, process, and technology. SOA is an overarching perspective on enterprise architecture that reaches far beyond a specific set of technologies or a standard, canned methodology. SOA supports true software and business process alignment, allowing the business to shape its own processes rather than being forced to conform to the constraints of an arbitrary piece of software. Amentra's unique approach to SOA allows an organization to drive significant and immediate bottom line impact. Full Service SOA addresses all aspects of an organizational transformation, removing silos, establishing IT governance structures, creating common business definitions, and generally enabling enterprise business and IT functions to interact seamlessly to the overall benefit of the company.

Amentra has been working with business and IT units across our diverse client base since 2000 to plan, architect, and implement SOA, taking into account the needs of the business and the best ways to outfit IT groups to meet those ever increasing and complex needs. Amentra can help businesses at any stage along the SOA path by assessing the enterprise's SOA needs and then creating the appropriate business and IT plans to achieve new efficiencies through the appropriate allocation of people, process, and technology.
