CentraSite™ for Acando

Acando brings knowledge and experience from helping multiple customers design, implement, manage, and govern service-oriented architectures (SOA) and Integration Competence Centers (ICC). It is Acandos strong belief that SOA can deliver on the promise of business agility but that it requires careful planning and consideration. Acando help their clients bridge business and technology through management and governance.

Acando considers CentraSite a key catalyst for creating transparency and traceability in a SOA and/or an ICC. A SOA and/or an ICC without control and visibility cannot function which is one of the reasons that Acando sees a CentraSite as a vital asset in governance.

Executive's Opinion

"Acando sees the CentraSite product as a good foundation for mid-size to large enterprises SOA and integration governance. Creating a community where others can contribute, share and create comprehensive solutions is a great step for further development within the area. Acando will bring to the community our intellectual property related to SOA Center of Excellence and Integration Competence Center" says John Karnblad, CTO at Acando.
