Making Your Business Fast, Flexible and Responsive
A Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) allows a consumer products business to view itself from the perspective of its customers, suppliers and other trading partners and respond quickly to change. A Service-Oriented Architecture relies on the use of open standards and web services to facilitate sharing of information.
Capgemini has been a significant contributor to the development of SOA through its work with standards groups such as the Open Group. Our proprietary Integrated Architecture Framework (IAF), developed and enriched over many years, is aligned with The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) architecture standard.
Our community of certified architects, engineers and delivery managers numbers more than 12,000.
Collaboration for SOA Success
At Capgemini we work with market movers — including SAP, Intel, HP, Cisco Systems, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, Oracle and IBM — as well as many innovative niche players to develop and implement SOA solutions.
Key Elements of SOA
Sense and Respond: Allows consumer products companies to develop real-time marketing and dynamic pricing based on access to actual customer dialogue and transactions.
Plug and Play: Open standards enable rapid adoption of best practices and integration with a company’s alliance ecosystem. Then the company can adapt its response to the current situation.
Learn and Leverage: New capabilities enable new business models in new markets, channels and geographies. Customer participation is incorporated into the offer development, marketing and delivery.
