Service Oriented Architecture
Service-Oriented Architecture is an IT and Business
strategy that organizes the discrete functions contained
What is in an enterprise applications into interoperable,
SOA? standards-based services that can be combined and
reused quickly to meet business needs.”
Business agility depends on the free flow of information,

services and business processes across the organization.
However this flow is stymied by the heterogeneous nature of
the typical large enterprise. Multiple platforms (IBM, BEA,
Microsoft, SAP, Oracle etc) and technologies (J2EE, .NET,
Legacy, etc.) require IT to hard code the point to point
Why SOA?
connections, hampering the swift flow of information and

slowing the delivery of new business services.
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has emerged as the

leading IT strategy for streamlining service delivery. SOA
takes the discrete business functions contained in enterprise
applications and organizes them into interoperable,
standards-based services that can be quickly be combined
and reused in composite applications and processes.
The desire for Organizations to be service driven is creating

a significant pull for IT to adopt SOA.

SOA gaining priority in the marketplace

The Market and Our Hybrid Strategy
Two Trends in the market
Banks under pressure to bring innovative products to
market more quickly, to improve operational
efficiency through continued process optimisation and
to implement comprehensive regulatory compliance
programs
Growing recognition of Service Oriented Architectures
(SOA) as a viable approach to gradual and non-
disruptive replacement of legacy systems
Polaris transforming the application development and
maintenance (ADM) business lines from a cost-arbitrage
based resource augmentation model to a solution based
value proposition through the use of a hybrid model of
services combined with Intellectual Property (IP)

Early Adoption of our solutions by the Market

full spectrum of origination, loan processing and
collections - in diverse markets of Japan, Germany, the
US, India and the Middle East
Initial success with Cards in the local market in India

finance in Latin America
Achieved a position of leadership with our Cash and
Liquidity management offerings with leading banks in
the UK market
