How SOA Cuts IT Costs

By service-enabling systems with lightweight plug-ins at the endpoint rather than by deploying integration technology in a centralized server, IONA's distributed SOA infrastructure results in a significant reduction in IT costs.

Specific ways IONA's distributed SOA infrastructure delivers greater ROI, operational savings and increased business agility include

  • Reduced hardware costs - servers can cost upwards of $.5M, and twice that if redundancy and high-availability are required. Eliminate a centralized server and save millions in hardware and maintenance costs alone.
  • Reduced software costs - leverage existing IT assets to relieve organizations from the upfront costs of having to buy a software stack or add another layer of software onto existing stacks.
  • Faster time to market - reusing existing middleware allows existing processes to continue to run without disruption, and services to customers and partners remain undisturbed.
  • IT staff redeployment - reduce the number of expensive centralized servers and free costly resources from maintaining infrastructure so they can work on critical business functionality.
  • Reduced development cycles - if updates are fully implemented and validated locally, independent of the hub and partners, organizations achieve better reuse and are more responsive to change.
  • Increased throughput - when messages and transactions are tested and validated earlier, there is less "round tripping" of incomplete or corrupted data, resulting is greater throughput across the enterprise.
  • IONA's proven approach - identify specific ways to increase ROI, reduce operational costs, and streamline IT based on the collective experiences of Global 2000 customers.
