Service Oriented Architecture SOA

Service Orientation – from the strategy right through to completion

SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) has gone from pure hype to reality. SOA in the form of integrated services creates flexible business processes that bring a major competitive advantage. 

 

Zühlke provides comprehensive assistance as you progress from the strategy stage through the stages of defining the processes and the architecture right through to the implementation of your SOA. We can provide you with the experience we have gained on the path from a vision to productive use of SOA while implementing a great many projects.   

You benefit from our assistance when setting up a service oriented architecture and will thereby reach the productive phase much more quickly while avoiding the typical pitfalls involved in such a change process.

We are your partner for

  • Defining and describing your business processes and your IT strategy
  • Creating a model of the service environment, from the technical services right through to mapping onto your existing IT systems
  • Creating the basis for successful implementation and acceptance throughout the company of your SOA (Governance)
  • Implementing new services and orchestrating the total environment


We specialise in

  • Consistent service modelling at various levels using BPMN and the BPEL
  • Middleware and integration tools for implementing your SOA (ESBs, workflow und rule engines, repositories)
  • Successive methodical reconfiguration of your IT en route to a completely service oriented environment
