The Insider's Guide to Business and IT Agility
03/22/2006
Service oriented architecture (SOA) management software specialist, AmberPoint, today announced that Capita IT Services has selected its award-winning runtime governance software for a major one-stop, self-service initiative with the Great Britain Driving Standards Agency (DSA).
ebizQ received the following details from AmberPoint:
Based on Capita’s approach to Enterprise Integration, AmberPoint’s SOA Management System and BEA’s AquaLogic™, the project is one of the first full-scale SOA migrations in the Great Britain Public Sector. AmberPoint’s SOA software is at the heart of the DSA’s channel shift to online services and is an integral part of its move towards a services-based architecture to enable the sharing of data and business process through services, with other agencies within the Driver and Vehicle Operators Group (DVO).
The DSA is an executive agency of the Great Britain Department for Transport (DfT) and is part of the Driver, Vehicle and Operator (DVO) Group. The DVO Group has three strategic priorities -- better services for customers, better compliance and better value for money. In support of these priorities, the Group is developing a one-stop service strategy, focused on the needs of its private and commercial customers. Its goal is to provide more "joined-up" customer services which make compliance simpler and which deliver significant improvements in efficiency and effectiveness. As the outsourced IT services provider to the DSA, Capita IT Services is helping to enable the future direction and business changes required to meet these strategic objectives.
“The DSA needed to deliver both new business processes as well as migrate to a new platform as a result of legacy and obsolescence,” said Neil Marley, Enterprise Integration Architect at Capita IT Services.
“We also wanted to ensure we were meeting the strategic objectives of the Driver and Vehicle Operators Group, particularly with regards to the channel shift to internet-based self service and the wider agenda across other departmental agencies. We knew a strategy encompassing SOA to enable the required enterprise integration was the way forward in terms of delivering against these objectives, and that management capabilities would be critical to this effort.
"After a rigorous evaluation of SOA management providers, we selected AmberPoint for its architectural advantages and its comprehensive approach to governance. We adopted them as our SOA management platform of choice.”
