Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

A Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach can help you unlock the hidden potential of your current business systems and processes by allowing you to optimize access for employees, business partners or customers. By subscribing to a SOA roadmap, you set the foundation for common services, process orchestration, and faster time to market and service portals.

Our view of SOA

At ICSynergy, we take a pragmatic view of SOA and can apply SOA as either an architectural principle or a framework. We recognize there are multiple entry points to your SOA journey. It could be as simple as providing a Rich Internet Application (RIA) user experience on top of an existing mainframe application or creating a business process portal to allow orchestration across business units. ICSynergy can help you create a strategy that addresses near term business needs, as well as long-term total cost of ownership (TCO) optimization across virtually any vertical.

Java / J2EE

For over a decade ICSynergy has been implementing multi-tier Java / J2EE portals and business applications. It is important to recognize that much of the SOA design and implementation principles have evolved from best J2EE practices. Although SOA provides a preferred architecture, Java / J2EE is fully capable of providing the runtime and is the most mature and deployed platform used by the Fortune 500.

Strategy

SOA is a long-term strategy that demands careful consideration and planning. Identity Management and SOA strategy need to work hand in hand. By creating a SOA strategy, you will be positioning your company to implement partner portals, secure web services and Rich Internet Applications (RIA)
