| | What is WebSphere Business Process Management? |
| | |
| | WebSphere Business Process Management (WBPM) and WebSphere Process Integration (WPI) are two terms IBM uses for its evolving suite of [SOA|IBM SOA] integration servers and development IDEs. The core set of products are: |
| | * [WebSphere Process Server] -- A runtime environment for [SOA|service-oriented architecture] applications |
| | * [WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus] -- An [IBM ESB] runtime environment built into WPS |
| | * [WebSphere Integration Developer] -- An IDE for developing WPS apps and WESB mediations |
| | * [WebSphere Business Modeler] -- An IDE for business analysts to model business processes |
| | * [WebSphere Business Monitor] -- A runtime monitoring system to measure business processes |
| | * [Websphere Business Services Fabric] -- Extends WPS and WID to build and execute composite business applications |
| | * [WebSphere Partner Gateway] -- A B2B gateway that can be used to connect other companies into WPS |
| | |
| | There's also a number of related products: |
| | * [IBM ESB] products |
| | * [WebSphere DataPower] -- Integration appliances for XML processing, security, and data transformation |
| | * [WebSphere Service Registry and Repository] -- A service registry for finding services and their providers |
| | * [WebSphere Adapters] -- These are a new set of adapters for WPS |
| | * [WebSphere Business Integration Adapters|WebSphere Adapters] -- An older but still current set of adapters from [WBI Server Foundation|http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wbisf/] that also run in WPS |

| | |
| | Two technologies they rely on heavily are [Service Component Architecture] (SOA) and [Service Data Objects] (SDO). |
