As the pace of business accelerates, enterprises are increasingly responding to customer demands in real time. To accomplish this feat, many IT departments have turned to service-oriented architecture (SOA). SOA is designed to help decrease development expenses and risk of application failures, increase asset reuse and enhance business agility.

An informative paper that examines the benefits and trade-offs of HTTP and JMS, highlights where each transport is best suited and demonstrates how each can be used as part of an SOA.

The information described within the informative White Paper is part of a series introductory best practice reports for deploying a successful Service oriented architecture (SOA).

SOA is becoming more prevalent in the marketplace as it continues to prove its value. Companies implementing SOA have reduced time-to-market by 40 to 60 percent, development costs by 20 percent, and maintenance and support costs by as much as 50 percent. Although standards and enabling technologies for SOA have matured, there are still hurdles that can impede an organization’s ability to achieve SOA success

The service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach to building enterprise IT infrastructures has gained widespread acceptance within the IT community. The benefits have been compelling—including the rapid deployment of new functionality that reuses existing code (lowering development costs), flexibility (improving responsiveness to business needs) and reduced maintenance costs (freeing staff to work on innovative new initiatives).

SOA and the associated benefits are firmly on the agenda of most IT departments. This White paper demonstrates that a SOAs primary value must be more than solving a technical problem: it should achieve new business value by reducing the IT costs such as TCO and addressing business requirements directly.

This educational paper introduces the SOA governance issues and provides an overview of an SOA governance model. To gain a stronger understanding of this business critical issue this paper will be an excellent starting point.

TIBCO believes that service-oriented architecture (SOA) is the key to achieving business agility and future-proofing business. TIBCO has a proven and complete infrastructure to support SOA, and has been helping organizations migrate to SOA for years.

In this free report Forrester evaluated leading integration-centric business process management suite (IC-BPMS) vendors across 85 criteria and found that webMethods, TIBCO Software, and IBM have established category leadership based on their combined strength across the three major areas of evaluation: connection, business process management (BPM), and service-oriented architecture (SOA).

Organizations seeking to deliver business process management (BPM) on a service-oriented architecture (SOA) have been faced with one of two solutions: a workflow approach with limited connectivity or an integration approach with limited BPM functionality. This paper describes a unified architecture for BPM in an SOA environment from TIBCO.
