SOA enablement consulting services

Harmonizing and aligning with business the IT infrastructure based on SOA is a long-term program, which has to be carefully planned and require practical knowledge that the organization may lack from the beginning. Standard SOA trainings typically give some background for your personnel, but they still will have to figure out how to apply this theory to the specific enterprise ecosystem thus delaying tangible benefits for business. From the other standpoint, complete outsourcing of the core enterprise architecture might put your organization at risk of high-level dependency on the consultants from technology vendor or service provider.

In order to address this challenge, Exigen Services has developed a SOA Enablement Program, which is focused on transferring the expertise to the customer’s IT department utilizing the "learn by doing" approach. The specifics of this process – though tailored for each customer – usually include the following steps:

1. SOA Program Goal Identification is a workshop, intended to identify the major organizational drivers toward the SOA program and define major KPI
2. Target Definition phase intended to capture the current state of the enterprise IT systems, develop the reference target architecture and a SOA transition plan
3. Pilot Project Execution during which Exigen Services personell will direct the execution of the project providing leadership, knowledge, and expertise
4. Handover of the project execution to the customer's staff

Exigen Services SOA Enablement Process defines a roadmap with a clear definition of deliverables and budget on each step. Upon successful completion, in-house resources will be able to drive SOA program themselves and at the same time visible business value will be demonstrated for business sponsors.
