IBM Takes On IT Services With SOAs: Page 2 of 2

Four new services from IBM Global Services (IGS) aim to bring software engineering discipline to the task of recasting an enterprise architecture. They include Assessments for Services-Oriented Architectures, Strategy and Planning for Services-Oriented Architectures, Application Renovation and Integration for Services-Oriented Architectures, and Component Business Modeling. Partners eventually will have access to the IGS services, Cosby said.

IBM's SOA strategy "lays out a prescriptive road map of how you get from there to here," said Ed Horst, vice president of marketing at AmberPoint, an Oakland, Calif.-based IBM Advanced partner. "This is what we see companies struggling with."
