eCube Systems' consulting modules facilitate the successful exploitation of standards-based, service-oriented architecture. Our modules are customized, rapid-to-deliver programs that complement and extend enterprise capabilities throughout the SOA adoption lifecycle.
Education, Assessment and Planning eCube Systems assists organizations in defining and documenting their Web services/SOA strategy and adoption plans. We utilize extensive client interviews, an SOA Readiness Diagnostic, and education & planning workshops in order to develop a highly relevant, pragmatic and holistic approach to implementing enterprise SOA. Our workshops are tailored, half to two-day sessions for IT managers, enterprise architects, and planning staff. They provide for rapid level-setting and serve to catalyze enterprise strategy and adoption of enterprise SOA. The workshops are interactive by design, and guide participants towards identifying issues, requirements and opportunities germane to their enterprise - along with action plans to address them. Topics covered include:

Reference Architecture eCube Systems assists clients in assessing the enterprise architecture and related operational requirements associated with a standards-based, service-oriented environment. Through planning workshops, blueprints and tailored recommendations documents, eCube Systems addresses the key areas of enterprise readiness, industry and enterprise technical standards, and infrastructure and architectural requirements with respect to service security, management, registry, middleware and tooling. Technology / Product Assessment eCube Systems staff have experience in developing and implementing commercial Web services security, management and UDDI products. This enables eCube Systems to effectively assist enterprises in assessing relevant technologies, products and vendors - to ensure that the appropriate enabling technologies are in place in the required timeframes. eCube Systems services include documentation of a vendor Product assessment process - included detailed, weighted selection criteria, and assistance in the vendor Product selection process - including review and benchmarking of key technologies such as: security, management, registry, middleware, service orchestration and legacy exposure tools.
| Enterprise Standards, Policy and Governance eCube Systems assists clients in developing and documenting enterprise standards and policy & governance conventions required for successful implementation of standards-based, service-oriented architecture. eCube Systems's application of emerging best-practices delivers its clients a tailored adoption and governance program that effectively mitigates risks and positions the enterprise to fully exploit the advantages of an enterprise service-oriented architecture. Key areas addressed include Web services technical standards, enterprise standards and policies with respect to: service ownership, interface definition, sharing and reuse, testing, conformance, versioning, registration/publication, namespace management, SLAs and security. eCube Systems leads clients in creating a pragmatic, multi-phase program for implementing an enterprise shared services model. Areas addressed include strategy, organization, standards, policy, governance, metrics, taxonomies, SDLC extensions, and service registry and repository technologies. eCube Systems also assists clients in defining and documenting the role and function of an enterprise Web services/SOA Center of Excellence, including the creation of an implementation strategy and roll-out plan. Service Identification and Definition While service-oriented architecture represents an unheralded opportunity for business process improvement, efficiency and agility, it also demands a highly unified view of business drivers, processes, and new technology standards and architecture. eCube Systems's Service Identification and Definition Methodology and Workshops enable a tailored and repeatable process for linking Business and IT teams to effectively exploit a service-oriented model. eCube Systems works with its clients to tailor and integrate the methodology and artifacts into the enterprise's environment - enabling multi-disciplinary teams to systematically identify, score, prioritize and define services-based solutions - within the context of enterprise strategy, architecture, current capabilities, and target business process and IT models.
