CTGS and Technologies partner to accelerate the identification, preparation, and deployment of service-oriented mainframe applications. Companies and organizations seeking to enhance the value of their enterprise computers by integrating them into a service-oriented architecture can efficiently identify available applications and easily build services with them. CTGS Services the leading provider of rapid service-oriented architecture (SOA) development for the Enterprise, the leading provider of Enterprise Application Modernization solutions, today announced "Rapid SOA Enablement" a SOA Methodology that accelerates and boosts the value of SOA solutions, and enterprise business processes.

CTGS solutions provide:

• Fast-Track to SOA-Enablement: With CTGS Service Architect, developers can graphically orchestrate transaction, application, data, and web services into multi-step, multi-operation business services with no formal training or consulting required. Concurrently, Relativity Technologies’ Modernization Workbench solution provides rich insight into enterprise applications, allowing developers to identify, understand, and select business processes targeted for service enablement through the Ivory solution.
• Multiply the Value of SOA-Enablement: Most complex applications are not optimally architected for SOA-enablement. CTGS Rapid Governance Model identifies and helps developers eliminate architectural traps that can reduce the value of SOA-enablement. Further, through its componentization capabilities, the CTGS Rapid Governance Model isolates dispersed business logic into standalone components. CTGS Service Architect can then orchestrate and deploy these components as enterprise based services, permitting high-value but hidden business processes to be extended in an SOA framework.

“Organizations can gain low cost and low risk business value by SOA-enabling their enterprise applications,” said Mike Smith, research vice president of top 1000 Company. “This value is further enhanced when using application analysis and application renovation capabilities by helping locate the functionality that forms the foundation of better grain services and ensuring that the mainframe’s high quality-of-service can be preserved.” "This solution is about removing complexity, cost and confusion from the process of integrating mainframe resources into an SOA," said a SVP at Boston based Software Firm. "CTGS provides context to the available 'instruments' on the enterprise and CTGS Architect 'builds the orchestra', enabling customers to create services in a manner that emphasizes business process, results and ROI."

“The successful orchestration of enterprise services can yield operational flexibility and substantial efficiencies - and CTGS has taken a leadership role in delivering this business benefit,” said Corey Gorman, chairman, president, and CEO of CTGS. “Our combined service solution allows clients to rapidly demystify and segment business logic buried in complex applications and reuses the logic in an SOA environment. Improved business agility, productivity increases, and risk reduction are the end results.” The many services CTGS offers work closely together to jointly integrate market and enhance the technologies to the global market.
