TIBCO BusinessWorks

Application integration technologies have matured in recent years, with the goal of enabling information technology (IT) organizations to cost-effectively share and leverage data across the extended enterprise and respond more quickly to changing business requirements. Various application development paradigms have also evolved, with service-oriented architecture (SOA) becoming todays mainstream focus. SOA is designed to break-down monolithic applications, reduce costs and increase IT agility. Because of the high degree of heterogeneity that commonly exists in large enterprises, integration has always been an integral part of any SOA strategy. The challenge is to mitigate the complexity driven by this heterogeneity, while providing the scalability and performance required to support mission-critical activities. TIBCO BusinessWorks helps organizations meet the challenge of connecting and coordinating all of their corporate assets by providing an integration platform that can also play an integral role in the deployment of an SOA. BusinessWorks can mediate interactions among disparate applications and databases, automate business processes, manage transactions and Web services, handle exceptions, and process events. As an independent integration backbone, it can also abstract the complexity that comes with maintaining different SOA ecosystems, including various brands of Java EE application servers as well as .NET.

AT A G L A N C E
TIBCO BusinessWorks is a standards-based integration backbone that includes an enterprise service bus (ESB) and Web services platform used to connect disparate applications and data with little to no programming. It provides an integrated services environment (ISE) for creating Web services and orchestrating process flows to improve the consistency and adaptability of both IT and business operations.

BENEFITS
Reduces costs and boosts productivity by enabling IT personnel to configure application interfaces, build complex data transformations, and orchestrate process definitions without low-level coding. Accelerates the application development and deployment cycle by exposing discrete business functions as reusable services that can be easily invoked without requiring an understanding of their technical implementation. Reduces the cost of application development by making functions and data available as reusable services that can be orchestrated to form complex business processes and assembled to form composite services and applications.
