Oracle Extends Lead in SOA, BPM and SOA Governance

Oracle's service-oriented architecture (SOA) products grabbed the spotlight in the July 1 middleware strategy briefing as Oracle Senior Vice President Thomas Kurian highlighted the evolution of Oracle's complete and integrated SOA platform. The addition of BEA technology to Oracle's already powerful SOA product line gives Oracle customers the industry's No. 1 platform for SOA and business process management (BPM).

"Customers can now leverage cutting-edge middleware technologies that include the fastest enterprise service bus, most scalable Web Services orchestration engine, highly productive business process manager, and the fastest data integration server," says Ashish Mohindroo, director of product marketing, Oracle.

Oracle SOA Suite, which anchors Oracle's SOA offerings, contains a broad range of products, with key BEA technologies boosting its comprehensive capabilities. In particular, Kurian detailed how Oracle Service Bus unifies Oracle Enterprise Service Bus and BEA AquaLogic Service Bus to provide a powerful and scalable integration backbone. Oracle Service Bus joins additional products in Oracle SOA Suite including

Oracle's leadership in SOA was again reinforced as Kurian highlighted the new look of Oracle's SOA Governance solution, which gained big through the integration of BEA technologies. Oracle Enterprise Repository (formerly BEA AquaLogic Enterprise Repository) becomes a cornerstone of Oracle's governance solution and is widely recognized as the No. 1 SOA service lifecycle management solution in the market.

"Customers will achieve faster ROI on SOA investments with closed-loop SOA governance that delivers higher-quality services, which meet or exceed predefined service-level agreements," said Mohindroo.

Oracle made further strides in the market by gaining from BEA important BPM capabilities, which play a key role in tying SOA to the business. Oracle BPM Suite combines the best of BPM from BEA and Oracle, providing comprehensive BPM tooling and runtime across both human and structured business processes. "There's no area of BPM where we're not a true leader," says Dave Shaffer, vice president of product management, Oracle. "With the addition of the BEA technology, which was called AquaLogic BPM, we really round out our BPM platform."

Kurian also discussed the growth of Oracle's event-processing capabilities. He outlined how the company will combine two complementary technologies—BEA WebLogic Event Server and Oracle's Complex Event Processor —into a unified complex event processing engine. And for BEA WebLogic Integration customers, Oracle plans to continue to develop and support Oracle WebLogic Integration and expects to converge this product with Oracle's strategic solutions over time.
