Achieving a Common Services Architecture
Feature presentation by Darren Wesemann, Chief Technology Officer for SunGard’s Financial Systems businesses and is chief architect of the Common Services Architecture (CSA).
This presentation reviewed SunGard’s 5-year SOA effort (dubbed the Common Services Architecture, or CSA), which is both a technical architecture as well as a collaborative process including a governance model. The nature of the SunGard financial software organization (which involves 60 disparate business units) required a robust process for collaboration and a structured organization of standards in order for the achievement of various key goals, such as reduction of redundancy, enablement of common services, the registration of all SunGard software assets, delivery of composite solutions and the maturing of legacy systems into SOA. |
