I NEED...
- My business applications to interact with each other
- To facilitate collaboration across the organization
- To enable mobile access to corporate applications and data
- To make valuable data in legacy applications more readily
available to new applications
- To simplify and reduce the cost of supporting my IT
environment
For all their individual capabilities, many mission-critical
applications in IT environments today are not very good at
communicating with each other. Developed with a specific function
in mind, they often don’t have any effective way to interact with
each other and the result is that corporate data—potentially the
most valuable asset in any corporation—is fragmented into silos
that contain data instead of sharing it. Communication, as a
result, is constrained between different departments within an
organization, collaboration is stifled, and the IT department is
forced to contend with language and protocol barriers that resemble
a bad day at the United Nations.
Advances in Web Services now provide the technology to launch a new
era of diplomacy among the applications in your IT infrastructure.
Logicalis uses Web Services combined with Service-Oriented
Architecture (SOA) in a business-centric IT architectural approach
that supports integrating your business as linked, repeatable
business tasks, or services.
Implementing a Web Services Strategy:
- Improves alignment between IT and line of business while
generating more IT flexibility to support greater business
flexibility.
- Facilitates reuse out of your existing IT investments as well
as the new services you're developing today.
- Ensures integration of your IT investments by making use of
well-defined interfaces between services.
- Reduces costs and improves customer satisfaction by providing
an architectural model for integrating business partners’,
customers’ and suppliers’ services into an enterprise’s business
processes.
- Reduces business risk and exposure by helping you comply with
proliferating government regulations.
Because every IT environment is unique, Logicalis works closely
with your IT team to evaluate exactly the functions and processes
that are the most critical web services for your organization. We
then help you develop and implement—using the specific technology
that best suits your environment—a strategy that unlocks the full
combined potential of your applications working together to realize
your business goals.
SaaS Enablement:
More companies today are evaluating and migrating to applications
delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS), also known as “cloud”
computing. SaaS can relieve many of the challenging demands of
traditional applications, but it still requires strategic
management and planning to achieve desired results. To help
customers achieve the level of service they require from SaaS
environments, Logicalis also provides strategic enablement and
planning services for SaaS.
Through our Outsourcing Service Logicalis also offers a variety
of hosted, on-demand applications in the SaaS model including
Email, IT Contract Management, IT Service Management and System and
Infrastructure Monitoring. You can learn more about our Software as
a Service (SaaS) capabilities and how your organization can benefit
from our experience here.

well together.
