Driving business value
With Capgemini’s experience of managing both large and small transformations, we can ensure SOA is applied in a progressive, coordinated way.
Define those business areas that would benefit most from a services approach:
- Cross-function or cross-business activities
- External partners or clients exposition
- Activities that rely on multiple applications and numerous interfaces
Select the business processes that carry the highest value for the enterprise’s performance:
- Essential added value processes
- Key differentiating processes
Start with a small perimeter and extend it progressively:
- Design long-term vision identifying target services
- Involve each new project in the long-term goal construction
- Install a “reuse-oriented” IT governance
Reuse, reuse, reuse … internaly and externaly available components:
- Rely on IT global standards to preserve long-term interoperability
- Build on the existing IT assets, instead of a Big Bang approach
- Reuse existing Web services, within the enterprise or available on the market
- Integrate data description standards define by industry communities
- Expose legacy systems as services
Capgemini can help you develop and run a transformation approach that suits your business, focusing on tangible results and addressing the different challenges that SOA creates for the IS function.
