One of our areas of specialization is the innovative use of the service-oriented architecture (SOA) environment. Before coding begins, we examine the client’s enterprise architecture looking for existing functionality that is reusable as services or components for our project. We also develop new service components with reusability in mind so that others throughout the customer organization can benefit from our work. This collaborative software development approach increases efficiency, cuts costs, and shortens time to market.

Citizant has also made a breakthrough with our data-centric SOA methodology. This revolutionary new approach looks at SOA from more than just a technology perspective. Drawing upon our company expertise in data quality, we help our clients build their SOA strategies around authoritative data sources.

Innovative Approach to Modernization

Legacy information systems typically form the backbone of the information flow throughout an organization. In order to leverage critical data, we apply a data-centric-model based on an SOA. This innovative strategy is geared towards modernization efforts and focuses on developing an SOA centered on your organization’s vital data. As part of our strategy we:

• Integrate existing systems and tap into authoritative data sources. This preserves your IT investment and provides better access to legacy systems.
• Extend the existing application by adding new functionality. This allows for an agile implementation that is responsive to your business objectives.
• Migrate your business functions/processes to the new platform. This preserves business functionality and reduces support costs by moving to an enterprise technology solution.
• Perform business process reengineering to streamline functions and services.
