Our Compliance Solution will allow you to manage compliance across all three operational domains: Risk Officer/Senior Management, IT Executive and Technology Development Management.

Assess the compliance gap between your current business operations today, and where you would like to be tomorrow.
Develop business policies based on your interpretation of regulatory legislation.

For the Software Development Manager: IT controls automation. Our Solution contains tools and know-how to help your development team pass an IT audit - without a lot of manual overhead.

To effectively compete in today's business environment, companies are increasing the number of customers, employees, partners and suppliers that are allowed to access information. As IT is challenged to do more with fewer resources, effectively managing user identities throughout their lifecycle is even more important.
In such complex environments with thousands of users
and a multitude of databases, applications and systems, automated
identity management helps enterprises ensure the right people
can access the right applications and infrastructure. For
this reason, the Compliance Solution also includes the IBM Tivoli
Identity Manager provides a secure, automated and policy-based
user management solution to address these key business and regulatory
issues.
Service-Oriented
Architecture (SOA) Solution from DATASKILL
The SOA solution from DATASKILL leverages the XCF Open Source framework that combines IBM Middleware (WebSphere Application Server, Process Server, Business Integration Adapters and DB2) with DATASKILL services, including application development, integration and hosting.
The SOA solution helps organizations who have a combination of best-of-breed applications, on-demand services, enterprise resource planning systems, and desktop applications to manage supply chains and other collaborations.
The SOA Solution reduces the need to employ manual application workarounds to meet requirements.
The SOA solution accommodates organizations that tend to buy applications that best fit their current technology requirements and are less likely to have a corporate-wide ERP consolidation program in place.
The SOA Solution, in the case of supply chain management, helps customers: streamline the purchasing of goods, services and raw materials; cut freight costs, reduce inventory, save time, eliminate paperwork; while eliminating the need to purchase, install or maintain additional software.
SOA is highly effective in environments of extreme complexity, and is appropriate in environments where there are many stakeholders with many needs. The DATASKILL SOA Solution is ideal for organizations that need to:
Innovate business models & processes.
Leverage information for business optimization.
Deliver trusted information in business context to enable innovation.
Achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness with business model innovation.
Enable human and process interaction with consistent levels of service.
Create, deploy and update composite applications more rapidly.
The first phase of adopting a Service-Oriented Architecture is the “model” phase. This starts by gathering and analyzing business requirements that are used to visually, simulate, and optimize your business process. You use the business process to design associated software services and service levels. Your model also provides a baseline from which to measure the performance of your business.
The SOA Solution from DATASKILL lays a strong foundation
for a successful SOA adoption by helping clients:
Establish a common understanding of the business processes, objectives, and outcomes between business and IT.
Ensure that process models are actually applied in a way that meets the defined business requirements.
Evaluate all process changes prior to implementation - providing valuable cost and resource estimates.
Ensure rapid and accurate deployment of solutions with a clean, smooth hand-off from Line of Business managers to IT.
Line-of-business managers as well as business analysts can more easily design, develop, and document process flows that can improve the overall effectiveness of your business. To ensure you gain the expected benefits you originally
designed and planned for, the SOA Solution from DATASKILL includes
the ability to monitor, manage and control the Web services layer
of IT architectures:
Drill down to the application or resource layer to identify the source of bottlenecks or failures.
Pinpoint services that take the most time or use the most resources.
Report results against committed service levels.
Visualize entire Web service flows, end-to-end, as they cross the enterprise, and pinpoint source of service bottlenecks.
The SOA Solution from DATASKILL will give
you a flexible infrastructure that increases your organization’s
ability to innovate, integrate and accelerate growth. For a case
