HP Enhances SOA Governance Software; Telecom Co. Triples Return on Investment Using HP SOA Solutions
PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 6, 2008 - HP today announced a significant new release of its
market-leading service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance software, HP SOA
Systinet 3.00, which helps IT organizations use their resources more efficiently to deliver better business value from their SOA initiatives.
An IDC Business Value Spotlight sponsored by HP found that an international
telecommunications company achieved a 327 percent return on investment over three
years using HP SOA Governance and Management solutions, including an earlier
version of HP SOA Systinet.(1) The study found that HP SOA solutions helped the customer better align IT project management with the organization's business strategies.
The company now uses its internal resources more efficiently while improving the quality and reducing the cost of its subscriber services. In addition, the study found that the company had:
o Reduced technology service downtime by 33 percent, resulting in a savings of $2
million annually.
o Improved customer retention, leading to a savings of $1.35 million annually.
o Reduced time to market for new services, resulting in an annual benefit of $1.8 million.
o Saved nearly $800,000 in IT costs.
"IT organizations are accelerating the expansion of SOA across the entire organization
to significantly improve IT responsiveness while reducing costs and freeing up more
resources for innovation," said Tim Hall, director, SOA products, Software, HP. "As the industry leader in SOA governance, HP SOA Systinet helps IT organizations integrate
SOA with existing IT processes and bring new users up to speed quickly."
Major upgrades to HP SOA governance software help boost business results
HP SOA Systinet 3.00 helps increase the business value of SOA by empowering many
people within an organization to discover, evaluate and reuse services in their composite applications and business processes.
New features in HP SOA Systinet 3.00 include:
o Best-practices-driven automation: Customers can automate service life cycle policy
compliance through capturing best practices to make it easier to achieve their SOA
objectives. New, pre-built life cycles and templates help bring non-experts up to speed
quickly. More sophisticated users can customize service life cycles to meet the needs of the business using wizard-driven, graphical and application programming
interfaces. Role-based visual dashboards give users the information they need in a
format that relates to their responsibilities.
o Integration with existing processes: HP SOA Systinet helps drive effective decision
making across the service life cycle. The software can trigger business policies based
on service quality through integration with HP Service Test Management or prompt
actions to manage rogue services in production through integration with the HP
Universal Configuration Management Database (CMDB).
o Governance of business processes: Customers can create reusable business processes
and include them in the governance framework using new support for industry-standard
Business Process Execution Language. Organizations can increase productivity in their
business process management initiatives with business processes that are easier to
discover and reuse.
o Automation for scale: Organizations can automate repetitive tasks across a large
number of services with new support for bulk operations and life cycle cloning, capabilities that simplify the implementation of major changes. They can ensure investment protection in chosen standards with new support for Open CSA (previously SCA) and WSDL 2.0.
HP also provides a portfolio of SOA enablement solution offerings. The portfolio includes best practices and products for automating the SOA governance, quality and
management processes required for successful SOA adoption as well as SOA integration
services from EDS, an HP company.
The portfolio enables customers to build an enterprise SOA focused on efficiency,
security and performance. With standards-based delivery methodologies and tools
backed by global SOA competency centers, EDS helps customers increase technology
flexibility to better meet business demands.
