SOA made simple with a standards-based approach
As the benefits of composite applications becomes more widely accepted, there is a paradigm shift in the way companies approach creating new business applications. Interoperability between systems has become far more critical as compared to the ability to integrate with them. CentraSite's adherence to standards that support interoperability ensures that companies can leverage their existing assets easily.
Quicker, faster deployments with better asset visibility and greater reuse
CentraSite provides a complete view of an enterprise's SOA and non-SOA assets. It not only provides visibility, but it also provides details around the relationships between these assets and utilization metrics that are critical to organizations. The comprehensive reports that are generated with detailed information on asset utilization help enterprises shared services in particular with decisions around charge-back models for business units for availing various services and also helps in determining when to deprecate services that are less frequently used. Increased asset visibility promotes the effective reuse of assets over time, which contributes to quicker, faster deployments and in reducing the total cost to create new applications.
Governed business transformation reduces operational risk
Enterprises can store, track and manage all assets and their interdependencies in a central location, thereby improving the effectiveness of controls. The ability to manage the lifecycle of all the assets within CentraSite – policies, processes, services and others - empowers organizations to achieve business transformation in a governed manner. Operational risk is largely mitigated and promptly controlled thanks to the continuous and traceable management of assets.
Impact analysis provides the ability to quickly respond to change
CentraSite presents assets usage and interdependencies between services in a graphical and textual format, giving IT and business alike a snapshot of assets that are stored within. Leveraging the concepts of Event-Driven Architecture(EDA), CentraSite's notification mechanism can invoke other services to either alert users or respond to the changes automatically.
