IT must support your business goals and processes effectively. And underpin your new strategic plans. Be adaptable without costing a fortune.
Is your IT landscape a facilitator … or just an obstacle?
Make your IT efficient
Managing and maintaining an IT landscape is often expensive as well as difficult. That is why companies nowadays are looking for centralisation, standardisation, consolidation, virtualisation and on-demand utility computing. Ordina has developed MIOS: a methodology that you can use to transform your existing IT landscape step by step. With MIOS, your IT environment will evolve from complex and inflexible to transparent, adaptable and cost-efficient.
Your IT infrastructure will become a service
MIOS enables your IT landscape to evolve into a Services Oriented Infrastructure (SOI). Your IT infrastructure will become a service for your users. They work via a virtual pool of resources: web servers, application servers, database servers and storage systems. The individual resources are used more efficiently. The service levels improve, because efficiency no longer depends on availability of individual resources. In addition, your total cost of ownership falls. Ordina uses top technologies for its implementations, including Citrix and VMware.
Perfectly prepared for SOA and flexible processes
Ordina makes your IT landscape ready for the next step: a Service Oriented Architecture. Your applications environment consists of reusable services - business processes, best practices, data definitions and pieces of code for specific business functions. A SOA is modular and flexible: services can easily be added or removed. A SOA is also manageable, because the operating logic is simpler to change. Ordina supports you in the implementation of a SOA.
