Oracle Fusion Middleware
Oracle Fusion Middleware enables customers to adopt and manage SOAs in heterogeneous computing environments.
The
Oracle Fusion Middleware
product family includes solution areas for Development Tools,
User Interaction, , Business Intelligence, Content Management,
SOA & Business Process Management, Application Server, Grid
Infrastructure, Identity Management & Enteprise Performance
Management.
 Oracle BPEL manager:
Oracle BPEL process manager
includes BPEL designer (Jdeveloper, Eclipse), BPEL Server,
console and database. BPEL Designer enables to develop
sophisticated business processes in a graphical environment
without having to write code can be deployed on BPEL server.
Service Oriented Architectures
SOA enables organizations to design
software systems that provide services to other applications through
published and discoverable interfaces. Implementation of SOA using
Web services technologies is a new way of building applications
within a more powerful, flexible programming model. The architecture
provides greater process standardization and facilitates better
integration of applications and data across the entire organization.
SOA is organized as a set of interacting services that are loosely
coupled and location-transparent. SOA facilitates silo software
applications to be reorganized so that they can be mixed-matched,
and pieced together dynamically. Using SOA, components can be built
integration-ready.
Benefits of SOA:
================================================
 Business services across the platforms
Location independence
Services need not be at a particular system or particular network
Completely loosely coupled approach
Authentication and authorization support at every level
The search and connectivity to other services is dynamic
CDC Global Services (CDCGS) utilizes
Oracle Fusion Middleware
product family to develop, deploy and management of Service Oriented
Architecture. By adopting SOA approach, CDCGS can help customers to
~
Streamline Mergers and acquisitions
Enhance visibility and control into the key business process
Reduce IT costs
CDCGS offers wide range of expertise in
architecture and design of SOA standards such as Web Services,
utilize BPEL (Business process Execution Language), ESB (Enterprise
Service Bus), Business rules, Human workflow and BAM (Business
Activity Monitoring) to effectively move the existing applications
to service oriented model.

Methodology:
CDC Global Services can help customers to identify the current state
of SOA capabilities using Oracle’s Level 5 SOA Maturity Model. This
model gives top level management a point of reference to evaluate
the SOA maturity level of their organizations.
Level One: Opportunistic
Businesses identify simple projects
that can be completed quickly, most often building a service on top
of an existing application and exposing it to a user through a Web
portal. From a process standpoint, organizations at this level are
just beginning to discover and resolve cross-business control issues
such as data ownership and conflicts between departmental processes.
Level Two: Tactical
An organization at the second stage
has made more than one application available as a set of services,
and users commonly interact with composite applications assembled
from those services. Service reuse starts to kick in and so does the
use of Web services security and management solutions to apply
different security policies to services. They are also beginning to
develop more sophisticated user and identity management
infrastructures. Further, the business has begun to use an
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and business process execution language
(BPEL) technology to integrate its applications, building SOA
services that consume other services through interactions
orchestrated with BPEL.
Level Three: Strategic
As a company progresses to increasing
SOA maturity the focus starts to be less on technology and more on
organizational changes. Level three is about strategic business
change using SOA and Business Process Management technology to
automate manual business processes and drive business improvement.
SOA provides the technology foundation to make this happen. At this
stage, an organization regularly uses BPEL to define, automate and
change its processes according to business needs.
Level Four: Enterprise
At this stage, businesses have
pervasive measurement and improvement mechanisms built into their
SOA applications that track key performance indicators (KPIs) and
service level agreements (SLAs) in real-time. This information
allows the business to more efficiently and effectively manage its
operations and to optimize business processes in response to
real-time and historical data.
Level Five: Industrialized SOA
The business operating at level five
is engaged in continuous, real-time feedback that automatically
adjusts business processes and systems to changing conditions. |
