CentraSite Key Benefits
CentraSite helps your SOA projects in a number of ways. These include:
Leveraging Open Standards to Facilitate Reuse
CentraSite supports the complete lifecycle of your SOA based on open standards. Your organization profits from improved transparency, enhanced collaboration, efficient service utilization, smoother change management and optimized governance. A SOA cannot scale without a solid infrastructure that helps you build standards-based, interoperable solutions that maximize the reuse of your existing services. CentraSite helps you reach this goal.
Creating a Flexible, Collaborative SOA Environment
CentraSite builds an open foundation for management and governance of SOA projects. It gives you unparalleled flexibility, visibility and control over your SOA and creates a richer collaboration environment across organizational teams. Business analysts, for example, can manage relevant information around business processes in CentraSiteTM and their IT counterparts can easily access these processes and services to enhance them. IT developers and architects, in turn, can create and store all kinds of SOA assets - policies, application integration models, business process descriptions, information models and Web service descriptions - that can be leveraged across departments. This accelerates time-to-market for new products and services and makes your enterprise more agile.
Facilitating Safe Change Management
As the number and usage of SOA assets continue to grow in your enterprise, it becomes imperative for you to have the right controls in place. How do you know who is using what services? How frequently are they being used? What happens if you were to change a service? How does that impact other services? Being able to visualize all of your reusable assets and their interdependencies is critical so that you are aware of the impact of any changes. CentraSite provides you with the visibility in to your SOA to help you mitigate risks to your integration projects.
