BaseLine

 

Modernizing your entire integration environment can be an overwhelming tasks for most companies.

 

Saragosta is deploying a highly successfull and proven methodology and set of standards to help companies to identify their current integration opportunity and build the roadmap for their future infrastructure called BaseLine.

 

 

BaseLine helps customers initially to understand their issues and opportunities and to help them making the right decisions and prioritization by building the business case and technology decisions.

 

The deliverables from the workshop process are:

Definition of Current integration situation vs. Integration platform

 

Pros and Cons with using an Integration platform

 

ROI calculation - BaseLine

 

Selection of integration tools

 

Action plan for implementation of the integration platform

BaseLine subsequently helps customers to achieve the early implementation successes by incorporating policies, standards and best practices into the pilot project and suports the general roll-out.

 

BaseLine has formed the foundation for the integration infrastructure of leading companies such as Volvo, SonyEricsson, Codan/Trygg Hansa insurance, DaimlerChrystler and Song Networks.

 

To assure customers of project costing, BaseLine is extended as fixed-price offerings for the initial stages of the project.

 

The BaseLine Methdology and assets have been created and proven through extensive research and development by Zystems by Semcon AB. Saragosta is a member of the Zystems community and contributes actively with the onwards development of the solution through knowledge and skills sharing.
