Description

As an IT professional, you know it is becoming impossible to ignore the increasing costs impacting both budgets and growth in creating and maintaining numerous independent services that have overlapping functions. For a successful Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) strategy, it's imperative that IT organizations can create and connect reusable assets and services faster and more efficiently, resulting in increased business flexibility as well as decreased development and maintenance costs.

IBM® reuse and connectivity offerings let you create reusable services from the ground up, or from your existing assets, allowing your business to connect and integrate everything inside and outside your company. This increased flexibility enables your SOA to deliver reliability and security with high performance and high availability, spanning newly developed Web services together with complex heterogeneous environments.

Unlike the competition, only IBM WebSphere® can deliver an enterprise service bus (ESB) without limits -- a complete set of connectivity capabilities at the heart of your SOA that links together all types of data, applications, protocols and platforms, from sensors, hand held devices and appliances to the mainframe.

During this briefing, you'll get practical information and valuable next steps to enable SOA across the enterprise. Hear about the following WebSphere reuse and connectivity offerings and services and how they can help you develop or extend your current strategy for SOA:

• IBM WebSphere Application Server Family
• IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus
• IBM WebSphere Message Broker
• IBM WebSphere MQ
• IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender
• IBM WebSphere Adapters
• IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances
