Business-Driven SOA

When introducing a Service-oriented architecture (SOA), a company faces fundamental changes to its business, organizational structure and IT landscape. IDS Scheer’s process-driven consulting approach enables companies to fully benefit from SOA strategy.

IDS Scheer offers a portfolio of SOA services to help with the development of a process and IT architecture that is tailored to the customer-specific business needs:

Getting started with SOA

• Definition of SOA requirements and standards based on strategic business objectives and IT strategy
• Process/process steps analyses to determine reusability and whether they can be mapped in SAP or third-party software
• Identification of necessary changes in organization/skills, applications, processes and IT
• Creation of a cost/benefit SOA roadmap.

Designing an SOA process environment

• Focus on the process environment of an SOA, particularly process management and governance
• Holistic approach to necessary changes in relation to the interaction between Group headquarters, local companies and subsidiaries
• Agreement of processes, roles, responsibilities and IT support
• Definition of rules for evaluation and reuse of services
• Agreement of rules and documentation standards for the Enterprise Service Repository (ESR)

In all SOA services, IDS Scheer consultants apply the ARIS Value Engineering approach, ensuring a focus on business aspects as critical success factors.

Through IDS Scheer’s close partnerships with SAP, Oracle and Microsoft, the ARIS Platform for Process Excellence has become the de facto standard for BPM within the context of SOA. ARIS is the key to creating a central and neutral ESR.
