Foundation-Based Approach for the Evolution of IT Enabled Business

Big change is ahead of us after the current economic downturn. Businesses and governments are adopting SOA and cloud computing, which implies a paradigm shift in how IT can impact business opportunities, performance, processes, and organization dynamics.  Businesses increasingly rely upon IT to achieve its goals and to implement its strategies. With technologies and products of many generations, and with stove-piped implementations, current IT complexity is growing faster than ever in replying to the required changes and integrations. IT costs are increasing exponentially.  Enterprise architecture, SOA, and Cloud Computing are aimed at meeting these challenges. Our service is to use a Foundation-Based Approach with an Enterprise Foundation Framework© to provide a cohesive practice of EA, SOA, and Cloud. This solution will be essential in providing a disciplined and systematical way to achieve the modernization and evolution objectives for IT enables businesses.
For instance, cloud computing will contribute to the content of Enterprise Architecture, but will not change the way how enterprise architecture should be approached and adopted.  Cloud computing is not a new technology, but suitable new technologies can help cloud computing to be more effective and efficient. While cloud computing may be over stated with its indirect influences during the hype, it is a practical implementation mechanism for Service Oriented Infrastructure, which is a subset for Service Oriented Architecture adoption.  Business advantages are gained mainly via Service Orientation, i.e. common service sharing in many different ways. Our service will clear the road, and enable our clients to move forward in a more effective and efficient manner.
