In Forrester surveys, 38 percent of Global 2000 SOA users say they are using it for strategic business transformation. SOA's strength is in its business design models, not its technology. This means that SOA provides a broad foundation for a much larger shift in business technology architecture. This can help CIOs to lead their business towards a strategic technology future and greater business value.
Horizon is a specialist I.T. consultancy company dedicated to providing world-class business solutions to medium and large enterprises in the private and public sector.
We are an Oracle Gold Partner and have a breadth and depth of experience across multiple industry sectors and I.T. environments. We have recently gained a particular specialism in healthcare and medical research where our projects are centered on organisations that need to manage complex data sets in challenging business environments where “more has to be done with less”.
Horizon works with key stakeholders in these businesses to provide robust, agile and high performance business and I.T. solutions to support management to deliver successful outcomes.
The core of our service offering is built on our understanding of implementing effective IT infrastructure and the deployment of a Service Orientated Architectures (SOA). A successful SOA implementation is based on the use of interoperable business functions that are built as software components that can be re-used throughout the organisation.
However, whilst software re-use is an efficient technique for development productivity SOA’s business impact goes much deeper.
