The business benefits of BT's approach to creating a Service Oriented Infrastructure (SOI) were highlighted at IDC's recent international conference on SOA by Stefan Van Overtveldt - Head of SOI in BT Global Services. In his keynote Stefan explained how creating a service oriented enterprise allows an organisation the agility and speed to market needed today.

"... this is a  unique opportunity for the CIO right now to position themselves differently in the business context by explaining SOA as a way to deliver better service to the business." - Stefan Van Overtveldt.

BT Insights talked to Stefan at the event to understand a little more about the importance of SOA and his views on how an organisation can implement it effectively. Painting a picture of the challenges that need to be met, Stefan explains why addressing infrastructure first is so important and how BT’s new Continuous Migration Process will help achieve this.

BT’s Service Oriented Infrastructure (SOI)

BT can help you achieve a succesful SOA implementation with a robust and visible service based infrastructure. BT’s SOI proposition is a strategic approach that brings together key technology solutions like virtualisation and network Quality of Service (QoS). This enables competitive and flexible organisations to meet their business needs in a cost efficient way.

BT’s Continuous Migration Process (CMP) provides an organisation with the methods, tools and teams needed to optimise their application environments. It is an enabler in moving applications to a SOI environment, and a move towards creating a service based architecture.
