POA Start
Process Oriented Architecture roadmap adding design and implementation of an initial basic project based on Sonic ESP and Actional Progress Software product line.
Benefits
Oriented to:
Working Plan
Analysis: Around 2 hours meeting to analyze strategy, requirements and customer projections driven by a POA methodology aimed to results. Later on, Navix documents conclusions and delivers them to Customer.
Plan: Main legacy or back-end customer’s system is examined to determine strategies and technics to turn it into a process. Feasible target benefits are analyzed and detected opportunities are prioritized. Based on preceding, a quick-win plan is devised with an orientation to back-office processes (searching the least possible impact on user level applications).
Design: A detailed design of the process to be implemented is accomplished, establishing every impact at IT level, business, security, management, and support. Usually it is necessary to complete an exhaustive technical analysis of legacy system, including APIs (programming interfaces) revision, formats, files, exception handling, and others. All needed feasibility tests are performed. Design is explained and submitted for customer approval. Later on, a tests acceptance plan is devised. If another service existed for legacy platform, it will be used in order to save time in building a tailored component (additional licensing should probably be requested).
Building and Testing: Upon approved design, solution core components construction is commenced. Afterwards an explanation on how this construction has been realized is offered to customer architects and engineers. In order to insure technological transfer, top level components, as processes and ancillary/control services are built in conjunction with customer staff.
Technological Transfer: Customer’s architects and engineers will receive intensive training in:
User Acceptance Tests (UAT): Finished solution is passed onto a testing environment for its detailed revision by customer’s team and user’s testing. If that is the case, requested adjustments are introduced to affected elements. Testing process is documented for official customer acceptance.
Deployment; Solution is passed on to production environment, along with all documentation and POA Start Program products.
Trial Run: 30 days (4 weeks) free assistance for solution defects or minor adjustments, including questions from system administrators. Hardware, application software or basic software issues are not included.
Note: Construction, Testing, UAT and Deployment activities take for granted the existence of an appropriate POA platform. If this is not the case, a previous POA Basis Basic or POA Basis Advance program implementation is suggested.

Process Oriented Architecture roadmap adding design and implementation of an initial basic project based on Sonic ESP and Actional Progress Software product line.
Benefits
- A fresh start with a specific project yielding concrete gains toward fast and coherent future development.
- To attain conversion of a legacy platform or application into a service or process as the the decisive step to boost POA
- Abilities and skills to specify, revise and audit POA solutions
Oriented to:
- Business requiring to start a POA program minimizing risks and anticipating returns
- Take full advantage of business opportunities or to start projects for pilot experiences gaining competences for a major scale deployment.
- Companies that have started SOA and/or PBM projects or programs without reaching expected outcomes.
- Businesses facing market challenges compelling to a dramatic increase in their productivity and agility in technology implementation.
- Companies that have deployed Sonic ESB and/or Actional without expected benefits.

Technological Transfer: Customer’s architects and engineers will receive intensive training in:
- POA concepts
- POA’s techniques, patterns and best practices
- Ancillary and supervision services
- Deployment, auditing, documentation
- Processes, supervision and alarms
User Acceptance Tests (UAT): Finished solution is passed onto a testing environment for its detailed revision by customer’s team and user’s testing. If that is the case, requested adjustments are introduced to affected elements. Testing process is documented for official customer acceptance.

Included:
- Analysis, dimensioning and specifications
- Detailed design and revisions, considering one (1) legacy platform, such as Data Bases (relational or cubical), ERP (SAP, Ellipse, etc.), Mainframe (AS/400, DMSII/Linc), Web Services (SOAP, HTTP, Servlets), Enterprise (JMS/MQ, J2EE, .NET), others.
- Construction and testing of one System Process or one Back-End Process (whether tailored or previously built)
- User testing and passing on to production
- Training and documentation
- 30 days free support
Not included:
- Hardware
- Software licenses (Operation System, Sonic ESB, Actional, Data Bases)
- Travel expenses
Requirements:
- Sonic ESB Server (Messaging and Services) with Operation System to be defined
- Actional Server (Application and Data Base) with Operation System to be defined
- Sonic ESB
- Legacy Platform (tests/development and production)
- Actional, according to quantity and type of servers to be monitored
- Logistical support and TIPI coordination
- Networks and Connectivity
