Daston's Approach

Although SOA has been around as a concept for years, varying definitions still exist in the market place. We define SOA as a conceptual business aligned architecture where business functionality or application logic is made available as shared, reusable services on an IT network. It is based on the concept of loosely coupled components that are capable of interacting in a standard and transparent ways regardless of the platforms, vendors or technologies running the components.

With proper planning and execution, SOA can deliver tremendous business benefits in the short-, medium- and long-term. Our seasoned SOA architects provide considered technology leadership by defining a series of manageable and logical implementation phases.

We roadmap the process and the projects so that success is achievable and results are realized quickly. Daston will also help define the best candidate applications and sequencing scheme to allow the greatest return on investment. Our SOA architects will help you tailor a SOA implementation that works best for your organization along the full spectrum from strategic planning to full SOA infrastructure and operations.
