Service-Oriented Architecture Implementation
Pearson Government Solutions has worked with
government agencies and commercial customers to revolutionize their
business processes and technology solutions through Service-Oriented
Architecture (SOA). SOA combines IT agility with business
flexibility, meeting customer objectives through business-driven
architecture. This combination creates a seamless collaboration by
driving application development and integration among multiple
organizations.
Our primary objective is to use open standards to merge multiple
silos of systems and data into a seamless, unified and global
enterprise. By assessing the business and technical needs of a
customer's architecture, we can determine and define services that
best fit the requirements of the client's organization. We can then
create a conceptual model of IT services, implementing SOA in an
incremental, phased approach to minimize risk.
An IT environment must be responsive to changing business needs, and
provide quality products and services to customers - including
enterprise application integration, architectures, business
operations, quality management, application software testing, and
project management - all while enhancing a customer's privacy and
security. Our unique SOA value proposition is to create strong
governance around our customers' business processes and IT
infrastructure assets in the most effective and cost-efficient
manner. Pearson reduces our customer's cost and improves mission
effectiveness by avoiding redundant investments, creating managed
and reusable services, and promoting synergy across the enterprise.
Pearson Government Solutions allows customers to "connect" in every
aspect of the business, expediting integration and streamlining
technology. Web services play an integral role in a system's
architecture; they drive application development and integration
within an enterprise. We implement Web services using the latest
development platforms, including J2EE and Microsoft.NET.
Our expertise in building Web systems allows us to meet our
customer's business needs by improving customer service, increasing
efficiency and security, and reducing transaction costs. Pearson
Government Solutions also provides the flexibility to scale, the
ability to reuse, and improved delivery times. We firmly believe in
leveraging an organization's existing IT assets and services
(reuse), and in designing and architecting for customers' future
needs. From a technical point of view, we establish a model with
secure, efficient service implementations to minimize future
development costs.
