Aligning IT with Business Needs

Many organisations experience a growing disconnect between their IT investment and business needs. Over time, changes in technology and people can compromise the original alignment of IT with your business vision.

Whether it’s reviewing a single key system or a comprehensive analysis of your complete IT or eBusiness strategic plan, Groundhog can add value to your organisation by providing detailed recommendations for your organisation’s IT evolution in the short-term, two-year and three to five year timeframes.

Deploying a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

A Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) can help your business respond more quickly and cost-effectively to the changing market conditions by delivering the IT services required by your business processes, regardless of the underlying infrastructure. Unfortunately, the hype surrounding SOA can make it difficult for businesses to separate fact from fiction.

Groundhog has created software based on the concept of “services” since long before SOA joined the “hype circus”. While many vendors talk about potential benefits of an SOA, Groundhog has deployed actual solutions based on this approach for many years. Imagine a 16-year-old VAX system driving a world-class, real-time, online eBusiness application! That’s not hype… Groundhog used SOA to make it a reality.

As one of the few companies with significant hands on experience in this specialised area, Groundhog assists some of Australia’s leading companies to plan an SOA infrastructure. Groundhog’s vendor-neutral and technology-neutral approach to how these organisations can benefit from a Service-Oriented architecture enables them to confidently integrate SOA into their IT strategic plans.

If you already have a clear SOA vision, then the Groundhog team of software architects and engineers is ready for the challenge to design, develop and deploy it.
