In order to compete you need to be a shift the way you architect your computing enterprise. Adopting a Business-Agile Enterprise (B-AE)1 is one way. B-AE is a business architecture that combines and extends the concepts of a real time enterprise, agile software development and business agility. A B-AE is a company that has mastered the interrelationships between business and Information Technology (IT) of resiliency, agility and innovation.
The Foundation for a modern enterprise is a flexible set of design principles referred to as a service-oriented architecture (SOA) running on a modern integration platform known as an Enterprise-Service-Bus (ESB). These principles are used during the phases of systems development and integration. A deployed SOA-based architecture will provide a loosely-integrated suite of services that can be used within multiple business domains to improve Time-to-Market (TTM), Total-Cost-of-Ownership (TCO), and a library of reusable services.
LCN's architects and consultants maintain the highest degree of industry knowledge, certification and experience with leading SOA solution vendors such as Oracle Sun SOA.
“In the 21st century modern IT infrastructure, organizations are nimble, agile and confident, not brittle, rigid and uncertain in their ability to respond to the business without interruption, risk and lengthy development cycles. It's about having an infrastructure that's Always on, Always Moving Forward and Always aligned with the Business.” said Regis D. Kuzel, vice president at LCN Technology.
