Key business benefits


Key Business Benefits

Saved umpteen man hours of work load

Increased visibility of entity status and history

Elimination of duplicate data entry

Open architecture

Architecture can be rolled out to other Service Providers using any of the protocols (Web Services, ftp….)

Rapid Development – Reduced implementation time by 50%


Key Benefits of BPEL based Service Oriented Integration

The power of an open standard - By capturing business processes in BPEL, avoid vendor lock-in. BPEL is to business process management what SQL was to data management

Unparalleled visibility and administration - The BPEL Console helps visually monitor the execution of each BPEL process, drill down into the audit and view the details of each conversation or debug a running flow against its BPEL implementation

Dramatic cost savings - The Oracle BPEL Process Manager is 60-80% less expensive to buy and maintain than traditional EAI solutions.

Service Oriented Integration approach - is more flexible and is agnostic of underlying run time container as opposed to traditional approach.

Systematic Reuse - as each BPEL process, in turn, becomes yet another compose-able standards based web service.

SOA Environment – Modular and reusable business services are orchestrated in a model driven declarative manner.


Lessons Learned in implementations


Lessons Learned

• Working through the maze of Oracle Licensing was challenging

• Need to involve client business analysts with a good grasp of business processes

• Readiness of the trading partner is very important

• Conversion WSDL when imported from .NET to JDeveloper was posing errors

• XML format posed challenges in .NET to receive. We had to fix using creative methods
