Solutions

GloMidCo and Software AG have joined their forces and experience in the area of SOA governance. Both companies strongly believe that SOA governance is essential in order to be successful with any SOA initiative. The need of governance is understood by many of our clients. Those clients started by finding custom ways of fulfilling their governance need, mostly via sheets, Wiki implementations or formal approval processes.

No matter how effective these solutions are, they reach their limit when service landscapes get more complex or when different aspects of SOA governance have to be combined. Those aspects can be version control, life cycle management, dependency documentation, asset repository and many more. The solution Software AG and GloMidCo are offering is a combination of Software AG's free CentraSite Community Edition and the consultancy experience of GloMidCo in the area of SOA governance solutions.

This does not only include the installation and configuration of a software tool, it also involves transforming an IT organization. This is where GloMidCo can take over the leading role and add value by making it a success. CentraSite Community Edition is highly integrated with the webMethods 8 suite and allows to rapidly take assets under governance. Such assets can be SOA artifacts (XSD, WSDL), business processes, ESB services and packages , Portlets, Web Applications and TN Document Types.

The GloMidCo CentraSite Community offering encompasses:
  • Installation of CentraSite Community Edition
  • Performing the initial configuration
  • Publishing webMethods 8 assets
  • Building and filling an enterprise SOA repository/registry
A successful implementation will result in the following added value
  • Supporting service reuse -> service development and maintenance costs reduction
  • Services dependencies mapping -> reduction of production issues caused by unknown service dependencies.
  • Define and document SLAs and validate against actual usage ->increase development quality
  • Single central repository -> cost reduction for installing and maintaining several repositories
