SOA is critical to business growth – triVector

Sept. 3, 2009 - PRLog -- Looking ahead, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) will remain a pivotal piece of the proverbial business development puzzle say expert consultants at triVector, a specialised national provider of next-generation Business Process Management and Enterprise Architecture solutions.

Phillip Beyleveld, a triVector Business Analyst consulting in the banking sector, says businesses that have embraced SOA in an optimised process environment, across the enterprise, should be reaping the benefits of lower overheads on technology spent as well as maintenance, deferred or deferrable replacement costs.

“Costly technology replacements can be deferred to a more favourable economic climate and, should market require enhanced product or service offerings, the agility associated with SOA should enable the business to address those requirements with a faster turn around time and at a much lower cost of development,” he explains.

Management at triVector suggests that the success of the SOA approach is based on sound governance and management buy-in at the highest possible level within an enterprise.

triVector is positioned to assist clients to extract the maximum benefit from the strategic combination of expertise, knowledge and technology. Service Oriented Architecture is considered fundamental to the company’s offering and inextricably linked to modern corporate management.

Beyleveld describes SOA as a very close integration between business and technology. “Technology contributes the anatomical or technical services and business compose those anatomical services into business services to address enterprise-wide business requirements,” he says. “Components of service oriented architecture may be applied with virtualisation, cloud computing and software as a service.”

Representatives from triVector continue to advocate the advantages of enhanced BPM and specifically the optimisation of existing processes, which the company believes can go a long way to reduce operational costs.

“Re-focusing on services may provide some short term cost reduction provided that the services are already in existence and the enterprise allows for reuse across the traditional silos,” adds Beyleveld.
