Cut costs, optimize existing IT investments and increase productivity
Uncertainty about the economy is causing many IT executives to reevaluate current and new initiatives. Investments may be delayed unless they either will result in tangible and rapid cost savings or are critical to the viability of the business. These are the primary factors why many organizations are deciding to continue their service-oriented architecture (SOA) initiatives. An SOA enables business agility, an important characteristic for business to weather and succeed in tough economic times. At the same time, this architecture style supports progressive adoption instead of the traditional long development cycles, so organizations can realize incremental returns on their investment.
This white paper defines the challenges facing today’s IT executives and steps you can take now to support your organization’s SOA-based initiatives by cutting costs, leveraging your existing IT infrastructure and improving productivity. We will also share how other organizations have achieved an incremental return on investment (ROI) through progressive adoption and how they have improved the success of SOA initiatives by focusing on enhancing their IT infrastructure and operations.
