English translation: acts perfectly as

Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
German term or phrase: sich anbieten
I loathe this term. I (think I) know what it means in this context - that enterprise SOA can act an accelerator, but I'd like a nice elegant way of saying it. "Presents itself"? Enterprise SOA means enterprise service-oriented architecture, by the way.

Ein Projektbeispiel zeigt den Stellenwert von Enterprise SOA. Hierbei wird besonders deutlich, dass Veränderungen im Business Prozessanpassungen notwendig machen, welche wiederum Änderungen innerhalb der IT erfordern. Dieses Zusammenspiel erfordert Transparenz und Leitlinien. Enterprise SOA bietet sich hier als Beschleuniger an.

English translation:acts perfectly as
Explanation:
'sich anbieten' here IMHO means that it is just a perfect solution, like that it would be just natural to use that one.

so: "Enterprise SAO acts perfectly as an accelerator (for these processes, etc.)"

"Big Screen monitor acts perfectly as a classroom presentation tool"

Explanation:
Just a stab at it... Enterprise SAO isn't a firm, it's a complex software/architecture package, right? (nothing to do with buildings....) So it can't really 'offer itself'...

to serve as


Explanation:
Focusing on the "service" aspect of the word "sich anbieten", I would say: "SOA serves as an accelerator" , like in the example below:

"...T2M (Technology to Market), a not-for-profit organization that serves as an accelerator for early stage companies."
