SOA and the Service-Oriented Business. SOA adoption rates are increasing worldwide. A m ajor contributor to an organization's ability to attain strategic business agility and the benefits that service orientation promises is attention to "excruciating detail" involved with evolving an SOA architecture and infrastructure; i.e., the tools you use to build, configure, deploy, monitor, orchestrate, and manage services.

An architecture vision aligned with SOA's value for enabling flexibility, rich and reusable services, and strong business governance can offer a guided, implemented evolution that begins with your current application platform and infrastructure, and identifies an actionable path to true SOA.

To help facilitate such an approach, Zolon offers assessment, gap analysis, roadmap, and blueprint consulting services that can be adapted to any size organization to effectively orchestrate a service-oriented architecture that aligns with a service-oriented enterprise. In addition, Zolon can help your organization make sense of the convergence of SOA and other converging technologies, such as virtualization, grid computing and mobile computing technology.
