SOA
In today's rapidly changing business environment, organizations of all types face one common and persistent challenge: how to become—and remain—agile enough to satisfy ever-increasing customer expectations and accommodate new compliance mandates, all while staying ahead of the competition.
The solution is business integration. Combining business process management (BPM) and a service-oriented approach to IT management, business integration promotes efficiency and automation across all processes, ensuring that existing IT assets support actual business processes and new IT investment is focused on maximum return. Although simple in concept, business integration has historically proven difficult to implement; however, with today's service-oriented architecture (SOA)-based approach—which puts business and IT on equal footing—and Oracle solutions and expertise, this doesn't have to be the case. By employing the strategies outlined in this white paper, organizations can ensure a graceful, gradual, and successful transition to complete business integration.

Java
The Java virtual machine (JVM) is the cornerstone of the Java platform—the technology responsible for Java's hardware and operating system independence. Although it is an essential component of enterprise Java applications, the hardworking JVM has remained largely anonymous, with little distinction made between the many versions on the market. But all JVMs are not created equal.
Oracle JRockit Real Time incorporates a number of unique, industry leading technological advances that push Java into the domain of real-time systems and the realm of application debugging and memory leak control. One of its most important advances is deterministic garbage collection: an automatic memory management technique that minimizes transaction latency.
Java is a "garbage-collected" language; in other words, objects that are no longer referenced must be periodically cleared out so that processing can continue. Automated, traditional garbage collection processes are highly unpredictable, placing high demand on the JVM and causing erratic pause-and-response times. The deterministic garbage collection capabilities in Oracle JRockit Real Time smooth these performance spikes to deliver faster, more-reliable performance that enables the use of Java technology in markets where it was previously impractical.

SOA
Whether your organization's service-oriented architecture (SOA) has 50 services being used by one customer, or 50 customers using one service, you need SOA governance; increased business agility depends on it. SOA governance provides the ability to quickly and continuously translate and transmit business strategy and requirements into the processes, policies, and controls that will guide the evolution of your infrastructure and your enterprise.

Business Process Management
Over the last several years, business process management (BPM) has evolved from a mysterious alchemy of arc-and-bubble graphics to a mainstream tool of the trade that integrates IT technologies for business advantage. In parallel, complex event processing (CEP) has expanded beyond being applicable only in the isolated domain of foreign exchange trading and is now improving a broad range of processes—from transportation logistics to customer relationship management. Put BPM and CEP together and you get intelligent business processes that react to changing business conditions in real time, providing continuous visibility—in short, an instantly responsive enterprise.
The goal of CEP is to discover information contained in the events detected throughout all layers of the organization, understand the information at the macro level as comprising a "complex event," determine its impact, and then act upon it in real time. BPM helps organizations ensure that business processes are optimally defined, managed, executed, and monitored.

Business Process Management
On January 25, 2008, Oracle completed a thorough analysis of the business process management (BPM) market, drawing on more than 100 analyst reports, articles, and customer surveys. To help customers better understand the market, this white paper explores the rise of BPM, its current trajectory, and trends to watch. The early adopters of BPM have much to share. BPM has helped organizations improve visibility into market risk, double profit margins through operational efficiencies, and triple customer satisfaction rates by automating manual and paper-based processes.
Over the last few years, BPM has seen rapid growth because it succeeds where earlier approaches have failed—uniting business strategists and technologists together with a shared set of tools to accomplish common goals. The future promises even more explosive growth as BPM products continue to mature, early success stories are shared, and enterprise-class vendors bring stability and scale to the market.

SOA
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) has moved beyond hype to widespread acceptance as an IT strategy for delivering business value. SOA promotes the notion of modularity, providing overwhelming flexibility and superior economics for addressing business demands. However, undertaking the transformation to SOA is not without its challenges. If left unchecked, your inventory of SOA assets will become unmanageable; the reuse of services will diminish in favor of custom development; or even worse, modifications will be made to your existing services that break other business processes. The purpose of SOA governance is to help you ensure that this does not happen.
This paper outlines the most compelling reasons for you to establish SOA governance within your organization.

Mainframe
In recent years, the much-reported "democratization of IT"—as delivered by the PC platform and other midtier environments—has led to a plethora of choices for users; however, the mainframe has suffered as a result. With a dwindling ecosystem and a host of siloed applications, mainframe environments are becoming an increasing source of concern to organizations worried that one day the business logic trapped within them will be inaccessible to the enterprise at large. With the average Fortune 100 company maintaining approximately 35 million lines of legacy code, you can see what a sizable problem this presents.
Enter service-oriented architecture (SOA). Functioning as both a software development environment and a delivery framework, SOA provides a mechanism for defining business services and operating models—and in so doing provides a technological infrastructure that IT organizations can use to provide the agility and adaptability they need to meet enterprise business requirements and to modernize their legacy environments.

SOA
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) has sparked an IT revolution. Deploying coherent packages of software functionality as loosely coupled, coarse-grained services delivers dramatically improved application flexibility, allowing enterprises to continuously adapt constellations of services to keep IT capabilities aligned with business goals.
Oracle is the leader in helping enterprises realize the benefits of SOA with Java. With Oracle WebLogic Server, Oracle provides a solid foundation for SOA based on the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 (Java EE 5). Oracle WebLogic Server is extremely easy to use right out of the box and delivers industrial-grade reliability, availability, scalability, and performance. Customers can rapidly upgrade existing services and manage them with powerful configuration, deployment, and management tools. They can also leverage integration with other Oracle Fusion Middleware products as well as their developers' experience with open source technologies such as the Spring Framework.
This paper discusses how Java EE 5 dramatically speeds the development of SOA applications and how enterprise developers can leverage its power by using Oracle WebLogic Server.
