At the Gartner Application Integration and Web Services Summit 2006 in San Diego today, Cordys, a provider of integrated SOA-based software that seeks to enable organizations to simplify business, today shared the results of a comprehensive independent study into the ROI and benefits of its SOA technology at a leading Chinese hydro electric power producer.
ebizQ received the following details:
The study takes a three year view of the implementation of Cordys SOA platform by the Ertan Hydropower Development Corporation (EHDC), a company that has just completed the first of 20 planned hydro electric power plants in the Sichuan Province of China.
Undertaken by Quintel, an independent consulting company, the study shows the positive impact of Cordys SOA technology on:
Overall IT cost savings:
*40% savings over alternative solutions considered
*25% savings in IT related costs
The management and efficiency of dam construction:
*First plant completed nine months ahead of schedule
*10% savings in overall procurement and support costs
*50% reduction in HR support costs
The visibility and accessibility of information across multiple and remote locations, and implementation of Single View:
*Up to 50% improvement in the availability, accuracy and presentation of information
"EHDC needed to address legacy IT issues that limited the sharing of data and business collaboration opportunities, by implementing a single integrated solution that provides enterprise wide, unified and centrally managed access to distributed IT resources." said Charney Hoffman, Senior Pre-Sales Architect, Cordys. "This solution needs to both address inefficiencies in existing IT architecture as well as provide the framework for the effective and efficient addition of new plants and associated complex management systems, over time."
The Cordys SOA platform was implemented by EHDC over a three year period to support the construction of the first in a series of planned hydro electric power plants, as well as to ensure that IT and business efficiency were maximized throughout the entire 18 year project.
"Cordys has dramatically increased the efficiency and visibility of EHDC's operations as well as laid the foundations for a fully scalable system that will be able to facilitate EHDC's development plans", said Omid Razavi, President of Cordys Americas. "Cordys is unique in the market because its flexible composite application framework was built from the ground-up. It has been designed to address all aspects of SOA, unlike the best of breed players, and is free from the integration issues faced by those vendors that have adopted an acquisition approach to their SOA plays."
