SOA ARCHITECTURE REVIEW

Service Oriented Architectures provide clear business benefits by making software components loosely coupled (changing one does not affect all of the others), reusable, and freely interchangeable. Because a SOA isn’t something you buy off the shelf, the implementation of a SOA can be intimidating to many organizations.

QAT can provide a clear, step by step path for any enterprise to move to a SOA. In working with our customers on Service Oriented Architectures for more than 5 years, QAT Consultants have developed the skills and experience to put you on the path. If you aren’t sure about what steps to take to get to your SOA goal, please consider a QAT Architecture Review.

• A document describing your organization’s current readiness for a Service Oriented Architecture including an assessment of the modularity, self-definition, and standards compliance of your core business applications.

• Implementation plans for integrating existing core business applications into a SOA including time estimates, levels of effort, and formal project plans for the initial phase.
