Pioneering Service-Oriented Architecture

Managing a company’s IT estate can be daunting. We can help you meet the dual challenge of reducing IT costs and using applications to add value to your business.

Capgemini is a leader in Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), and has been at the vanguard of its evolution and implementation around the world. We have created our own Business Service Architecture Framework, Infrastructure Design Framework and roadmap for developing Service-Oriented infrastructure, and are leading the field in developing open standards.

We are a founding partner of the leading Next Generation Insights SOE knowledge website, with a track record of delivering successful SOA projects across a broad range of organizations.

For example, we helped Matalan implement overhaul their system by challenging accepted conventions and stimulating innovation. This enabled them to significantly boost their capabilities in key areas including customer service.

Focus on IT Investment for Competitive Advantage

Capgemini works with you to optimize your application portfolio by identifying cost reduction opportunities and investment priorities.

Instead of centering on implementation and technology, we help you define your IT goals in business language and align them with the prevailing business model. The most effective way for an IT organization to do this is to understand the business services of the organization.

Our service orientation and business service architecture focus helps provides the context and framework for transformative IT and organizational decisions.

A Roadmap for Success

We thoroughly assess your application portfolio and develop a roadmap for achieving the IT mix that will best support your business goals.

We identify the areas of your application portfolio that have the most potential to create value, relying on processes and tools including:

• The AM Effectiveness Assessment Process that uses our proprietary Accelerated Solution Environment (ASE) studio to evaluate the maturity of your current AM service capability
• Investment heat-mapping to align your application portfolio with a defined business services architecture that will create a business-driven framework to support IT investment decisions
• The Application Intelligence Center for detailed portfolio analysis
• TechnoVision to evaluate emerging technologies and their impact on vertical industry business issues
• The Value Matrix, which helps close the gap between business and IT and align their objectives
