Offering Delivers a Comprehensive, Standardized Approach to Business Process Integration
Dubai, UAE, December 12, 2007: Oracle today unveiled Oracle® Application Integration Architecture Foundation Pack, a key component of Oracle Application Integration Architecture, an open, standards-based platform for business process integration across Oracle, third-party and custom applications.
Oracle Application Integration Architecture delivers pre-built Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) integrations across Oracle ERP, CRM and industry applications. Foundation Pack takes this one step further by giving customers and partners the tools to implement their own composite business processes across all applications.
Oracle Application Integration Architecture Foundation Pack is expected to be available in thirty days. Developed specifically for Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite, Foundation Pack gives customers access to Oracle's standards-based objects, services, methodologies and infrastructure components to develop their own end-to-end process integrations.
By providing customers with a proven reference architecture and reusable Web services, Foundation Pack is designed to help significantly reduce the time, cost and risk associated with implementing Service Oriented Architecture projects.
At the heart of Foundation Pack are Oracle's standards based Enterprise Business Objects and Services, which offer a common model approach for application integration. These standards based Enterprise Business Objects and Services provide the foundation for creating composite processes while also helping ensure integration durability and sustainability.
Foundation Pack allows customers to build process integrations using the same proven methodology Oracle uses to develop its pre-built Process Integration Packs, giving customers access to the same levels of integration development efficiency, control and visibility that Oracle employs for its own products. By including a proven methodology coupled with a reference architecture, customers have the tools they need to save valuable time and resources so they can focus on improving their business.
The infrastructure components included with Foundation Pack will provide tools that will help users streamline the development process, including the Business Service Repository, which offers visibility into what services are utilized and how they relate, and the Composite Application Validation System, which allows customers to run complete tests of the integrations.
"We consistently hear that today's businesses need flexibility and openness in their processes. Oracle Application Integration Architecture Foundation Pack provides the capabilities customers need to rapidly develop their own sustainable integrations so when business needs to adapt, IT can move with it." said Ed Abbo, Senior Vice President, Applications Development, Oracle.
"By providing a complete package for application integration needs, from Oracle's prepackaged Process Integration Packs to the newly announced Foundation Packs, Oracle is helping customers save significant development time and effort. A methodology like this lets customers concentrate on adding business value, not on architectural details," said Michael Fauscette, VP, Software Applications Group, IDC.
