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 GL ANCE
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 ows to
improve the consistency and adaptability of both
IT and business operations.
BENEFI T S
Reduces costs and boosts productivity by
enabling IT personnel to congure application
interfaces, build complex data transformations,
and orchestrate process denitions 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.
Simplies the inherent complexity and
heterogeneity of enterprise-wide SOA
initiatives with its completely applicationand
platform-neutral approach to integration.
Improves the consistency, performance and
scalability of mission-critical infrastructure with
a standards-based, comprehensive and proven
platform capable of integrating virtually any
IT resource.
TIBCO BusinessWorks
Based on TIBCOs years of experience developing mission-critical integration solutions for
organizations such as Delta Air Lines and NASDAQ, BusinessWorks serves as the cornerstone
of TIBCOs integration software offering that includes packaged adapters for leading
applications and complementary products for exception handling and collaboration, data
integration, and business-to-business integration.
