Sensedia Repository
Michael Blechar, Gartner Analyst, states that “a structured and well-established reuse program is at the core of a Service Oriented Architecture effort.”
A successful reuse approach happens when companies are able to easily locate and reuse their assets, create efficient ways to reduce costs, measure their return on investment and have a better control over future assets.
The Sensedia Repository (enabling SOA) is a solution to manage available software development assets, promote enterprise software reuse, allow faster application development and measure the return on investment.
The tool works as a metadata repository, centralizing information about components, services and other reusable assets. Acting as a central piece of the SOA environment, the Sensedia Repository enables the measurement of a wide variety of efforts and enables companies to:
- Reduce Duplicated Development
- Stimulate IT Governance, SOA, Web Services and EA initiatives
- Cost Savings through Reuse Practices
- Comply with Enterprise Architecture
- Measure ROI
- Increase productivity
- Reduce time-to-market and maintenance costs
- Facilitate outsourcing and migration to SOA
- Align quality programs and compliance (CMMI, Cobit, SOX, etc.) with business goals
The Sensedia Repository helps companies achieve these goals through:
- SOA Governance of all assets increasing the visibility and mapping of the elements in the repository (services, components, business processes, frameworks, etc.)
- Control and organization of assets even in heterogeneous IT environments
- A well defined approach to systematically optimize the standardization, consolidation and reuse of existing assets
