As market forces change, survival depends on how fast you adapt. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) transforms and modernizes your enterprise with a single view of your business, leveraging an efficient and simplified standards-compliant architectural approach for your automated systems.
SOA's value proposition is substantial:
- Reduce complexity by aligning your business and IT services
- Offer new services to customers without having to worry about the underlying IT infrastructure
- Integrate legacy system silos
- Develop flexible business models enabled by increased granularity of services
- Combine and reuse pre-built service components for rapid application development and deployment in response to market change
- Extract new value from existing systems
- Reduce cycle times and costs by moving from manual to automated transactions

IconATG Service Oriented Consulting
Ranging from strategic enterprise-wide rollouts to tactical Web Services implementations, the scope of SOA can be daunting. IconATG's SOA consultants provide expert guidance your organization needs to be successful on all levels. Our SOA consulting services include:
- SOA Strategy Workshops
SOA is the first technology that directly enables business strategy. Our workshop outlines an overall strategy to analyze your business services and identify key activities to make the maximum progress. - Service Oriented Technology Assessments
Organizations already have some of the technology needed to adopt SOA, but with the variety of vendors and tools out there, most are not quite sure how to get started. This assessment reviews your existing tools and technologies and makes recommendations for what additional tools to buy - and when. - Service Oriented Roadmaps and Planning
SOA adoption is a multi-year process for most companies - and can be critical to staying competitive. As internal capability mature, a roadmap will help maximize the continuing benefits of SOA to your organization - and make sure that you don't fall behind the competition. - Service Oriented Reference Architecture Definition
The Reference Architecture defines critical technologies, their vendors, and how they will work together. Documenting this is one of the first steps in adopting SOA. - Service Oriented Methodology Development
Most organizations have mature development process, but almost all fail to take into account the new workflows and artifacts required by SOA. Without an SOA methodology, organization will find it hard to build consistent Services. - Legacy Enablement Workshop
SOA's earliest ROI will be realized by organizations leveraging its power to access legacy systems. Many legacy systems, though, present unique challenges in the granularity and SLA of the services that can be exposed, and so understanding these limitations will be key to maximizing the ultimate value of any legacy effort. - Client and Partner Integration Workshop
The success of any partner integration or client integration strategy will depend on the ability to define interfaces in terms of business services. This workshop focuses on the key SOA elements that support integration.
