SOA Infrastructure Consulting Services – infrastructure strategy and planning for SOA

IBM SOA Infrastructure Consulting Services – infrastructure strategy and planning for SOA is designed to help you develop a clear and pragmatic strategy that puts your IT infrastructure in a position to support SOA. It offers two options that can be combined or pursued exclusively:

• Infrastructure strategy and planning workshop for SOA — a two- to three-week engagement, including a pre-workshop planning meeting, a one-day workshop and a report presentation meeting, that assesses your IT environment and helps define a desired future state. IBM consultants document the conclusions and present a roadmap with prioritized recommendations.
• Infrastructure readiness for SOA — a four- to eight-week engagement in which IBM consultants assess your IT environment, including organization (roles, teams, functions and more), architecture, information, governance and process. Your IT capabilities are judged for preparedness against your stated objectives and IBM best practices.
