SOA Suite 10g release 3

Features: Oracle has announced the launch of Oracle SOA Suite 10g

release 3 and outlined its comprehensive governance capabilities and

methodology.






Oracle SOA Suite 10g release 3, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, offers
enhancements that simplify critical aspects of SOA deployment and installation,

including a one-click install; an enhanced enterprise service bus (ESB);

expanded human workflow capabilities; enhanced web services security and

interoperability facilities; and broad capabilities for SOA governance,

including an enhanced web services registry and web services manager.






The high-performance, multi-protocol ESB can reduce the amount of programming
required to connect heterogeneous services and applications in an SOA. The

Suite's orchestration component, Oracle BPEL process manager, delivers expanded

human workflow capabilities that provide simplified workflow designer and new

algorithms for managing complex task routing and escalation.






"SOA is rapidly becoming the standard way for customers to derive added
business value from their current IT investments and to integrate disparate

applications and services," said Amlan Debnath, vice president, Server

Technologies, Oracle. "Organizations looking to embark upon their first SOA

implementation or those who are already down the path to an SOA can benefit

greatly from the ease-of-use, robust features and hot-pluggable architecture of

Oracle SOA Suite 10g release 3."
