Capgemini’s Integrated Architecture Framework has been delivering service-based architectural thinking since its inception more that 12 years ago, successfully delivering agile, Service-oriented Architectures once the technology started to mature in the late 1990’s.
The Services Architecture Framework™ works alongside the Integrated Architecture Framework by providing a logical structure for the IT Architecture in a Service-Oriented Architecture, encapsulating the leading practice and though leadership that Capgemini has developed over the past 7 years.
The Services Architecture Framework identifies ten separate layers:
- Services Architecture Design
- Architecture Baseline
- Foundation Architecture for Utility Services
- Integration Framework Architecture
- Business Service Orientation
- Business Process Orchestration Architecture
- Collaborative Application Architecture
- Portal and Channel Architecture
- Collaborative Process Architecture
- Business Information Services Architecture
These can be implemented through ten different work packages — the “plug and play” approach:
- Order determined by individual need and current status
- Each package truly separate and standalone in nature
- Each measurable on its own
- Implementing one does not imply a commitment to implementing any of the others
Services Architecture Index
- Fast, low-cost way to understand where your organization stands today
- Develop the right roadmap to the future for each different organization
- Enables rapid assessment of an organization’s architecture landscape and strategy
- Helps our customers understand how emerging technology and standards affect their investment in IT
Capgemini’s Services Architecture Framework also gives clarity to the broad spectrum of technologies involved in underpinning or otherwise enabling SOA. These technologies, such as Enterprise Services Bus (ESB), Web Services Management (WSM), Composite Applications, Business Process Management and Business Activity Monitoring (BAM), can otherwise sometimes appear to be a confusing overlapping microcosm of other areas of Enterprise technology, each with a unclear heritage and relationship to technologies that organisations already have and use.
