In today's competitive world, businesses need to be agile and innovative. However, the IT systems may become a stumbling block if they are not well architected. Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) is a new kind of application architecture, which promises to bring much-needed flexibility in IT systems. In our view, SOA can be considered to be fractal. This means it can be realized at an application level, system level or at an entire enterprise level.

IPCS has implemented projects involving SOA architecture. We have been involved in developing new applications as well as re-architecting applications to a) SOA and Microsoft platform and b) SOA to J2EE platform. Based on our on-going research in enabling tools, technologies and methodologies, as well as experience gained in similar engagements, IPCS offers following services as part of SOA implementation initiatives:

• Study of existing systems
• Develop roadmap for SOA adoption
• Develop solution for SOA adoption
• Re-architect systems to SOA environment
• Develop composite applications
• Integration using SOA.
