Logica broad IT Capabilities are the outcome of a large variety of project ranging from strategic consultancy for top executives to technical support for expert engineers . This experience has evolved Logica’s offering toward a client-oriented issues perspective:

• CxO Performance Advisory>>

  Cost reduction, increasing the value of IT investments , taking advantage of the new IT solutions, getting a sustainable agile-ready IS, these are some of the key issues of our clients’ top executives. The expertise to help organisations get the most from both their business and technology assets and make sure they are properly aligned requires more than a strategic discussion. We must be able to know and apply the best state-of-art practises and technologies at strategic, tactical and operational levels. This is what makes Logica different and effective at a strategic level.

• Developing the agile enterprise>>

  How do you know that IT will not be the show stopper with any mergers and acquisitions? How do you review the risks and value of IT?

  Our service oriented approach enables companies to be more agile and ready for change. It applies to both business processes (Service Oriented Enterprise, or SOE) and IT systems (Service Oriented Architecture, or SOA) and ensures they are both aligned with the business strategic goals. It is particularly necessary during due diligence, following a merger or acquisition, where it can be used to realistically assess the overall risk and value of IT systems. This issue is also generating more and more interest due to the rapid development of IT internal control to handle more effectively with Enterprise Risks Management and some regulations based on Sarbanes-Oxley Act or Basel2.

• Innovation Management and Services Orientation>>

  What is the Hype part of SOA, what is the Hope part of SOA and what is the Reality? There is a lot of misunderstanding what Services Orientation can bring you.... We can help you!

  Aligning business goals with the support of service-based IT systems provides the flexibility to quickly, easily and cost-effectively develop innovative new services. From a client perspective, we must be able to help them in technology opportunity assessments.
  Being vendor independent, we are able to provide the accurate platform and vendor selection, answering to key requirements of the client’s business needs and taking into account the impact analysis on current IT assets.

  The most valuable management innovation opportunities come from a business perspective. Logica’s offering fully addresses business topics from strategy definition to implementation projects. It also focuses on key disciplines such as business modelling or Key Performance Indicators definition and implementation.

• Dealing with legacy reality>>

  How do you deal with the legacy reality in an ever changing world? What to do with your legacy systems and how to define what is the best way to find a solution for these legacy systems?

  Legacy systems is most of the time the main handicap in achieving an agile IS and leads some companies to believe that only two alternatives are available : leave-it or rewrite-it.

  Our service-oriented approach ensures companies can enhance the value of legacy assets and establish whether they are still contributing to changing business goals. SOA allows for rebuilding step-by-step, managing risks, costs and results in a safer approach, and maybe more importantly for IT Managers, giving confidence to business stakeholders.
