Using Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) technologies has become popular as organizations seek to get more value from their existing IT investments, accelerate application development, and simplify complex system development. However, getting the most that SOA has to offer requires preparation, planning, and careful attention to process. It also takes knowledge and experience to know what kind of projects can take advantage of SOA techniques and even whether it’s right for your organization.

HCM not only understands the technology behind SOA, but also how to tailor SOA approaches to each unique organization. That can require a variety of steps, from carefully assessing an organization’s SOA maturity level to creating a SOA center of excellence to shepherd SOA deployments across larger organizations.
