Web Services

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.
