Sogeti Opens SOA Center of Excellence
Sogeti today announced the opening of its SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) Center of Excellence (CoE). Based in Chicago, the SOA CoE will provide guidance and IT expertise to organizations that are implementing SOA, now quickly becoming the IT architecture of choice. The SOA CoE offers organizations the benefits of Sogeti's expertise and practical experience in SOA.
Sogeti launched the SOA CoE to:
• Respond fast and flexibly to business change
• Drive and enable business and technology innovation
• Deliver IT solutions rapidly, reducing cost of delivery and time to market
• Increase productivity through standardized technology frameworks, methodologies and tools
• Provide enterprise-level, real-time process integration and information access
• Enable organizations to focus on business processes and alignment, instead of the underlying technology infrastructure
Said Jean-Marc Gaultier, Sogeti IBM Worldwide Alliance Leader: "Sogeti launched this CoE to support organizations with their SOA initiatives and help them achieve tangible business results. Through this new CoE, clients will receive the benefits of Sogeti's thought leadership in the SOA space that is built on real world experience."
Sogeti offers organizations:
• Practical experience - Demonstrated SOA experience both externally (for other clients) and internally (within Sogeti)
• Best practices - Use of structured methodologies for creating, planning, designing, constructing, prioritizing, integrating and managing SOA solutions
• Application, industry and process experience - Architectural drivers, combined with contextual best practices and modeling experience
• Solution Accelerators - Pre-fabricated process models, frameworks, tools, component repositories and adapters that are readily available
Sogeti also has SOA CoEs in the Netherlands, Sweden and Spain, and recently published a book on the topic entitled, SOA for Profit: A Manager's Guide to Success with Service Oriented Architecture. The book is available for purchase on the Internet.
Sogeti won the 2007 IBM PartnerWorld Beacon Award for Overall Technical Excellence in an IBM Business Partner, in recognition of its ingenuity, innovation, customer satisfaction and outstanding achievements in providing on demand business solutions.
