The Insider's Guide to Next-Generation BPM
06/14/2006
BRIDGEWERX, a specialist in application integration, announced the availability of the next generation SaaS-delivered (Software as a Service) SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) and integration solution, providing a complete integration stack delivered as a subscription service over the Internet.
ebizQ received the following details:
BRIDGEWERX is providing this technology through a select release program to companies leveraging SaaS technology, or any outside Web service whose architecture and requirements are a good fit for this approach.
“We are adding a pure SaaS-delivered model to better meet the expanding needs of the marketplace, as well as enhancing service to our existing customers.” said David S. Linthicum, CEO and President of BRIDGEWERX. “Using this new offering, all necessary integration functions are delivered over the Internet, including transformation, routing, services management, orchestration, governance, and security. In essence we’re delivering most of the major features of SOA as a SaaS for a fraction of the prices of enterprise software customers must now purchase and configure within their enterprises.”
Using this on-demand solution, BRIDGEWERX is able to provide their customers with a self provisioned integration and SOA solution that is completely delivered over the Internet, including design and runtime, which includes semantic mediation, governance, service management, business activity monitoring (BAM), security, and connectivity. When using this technology a customer need not purchase or download software, simple sign up with BRIDGEWERX, make your SaaS and enterprise systems known to the repository, and begin to define the information flows, transformations, service abstractions, and orchestrations in and between each system. This is done through a dynamic rich-client interface using Flex and AJAX, and only requires that the customer have a browser and a broadband connectivity.
Once defined, the integration/SOA configuration is moved to a runtime environment hosted in the secure BRIDGWERX data centre where the integration engine manages the interactions between the systems, both at the information and service levels. This includes logging, exception management, service management, and message queuing services.
“We are excited to offer this pure SaaS-delivered integration solution.” said Kevin Konynenbelt, VP of R&D at BRIDGEWERX. “We will continue to support the appliance delivered runtime for those customers that need to have the runtime integration occur within their firewall, which is necessary when dealing with proprietary interfaces that are not routable through firewall. This SaaS delivered integration service provides our existing and future customers with the ability to leverage the entire integration stack out of the Internet, including all of the cost savings and convenience that model provides.”
Applications for this technology are numerous, including linking SaaS to SaaS, and SaaS to existing enterprise systems, one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many. Indeed, BRIDGWERX is already a part of Salesforce.com’s AppExchange and this solution will be delivered directly from that directory for Salesforce.com users.
Other areas of focus will including business-to-business integration, vertical market trading communities, RFID database connectivity, and the abstraction and use of Internet-delivered Web services such as those hosted by StrikeIron, Amazon.com, EBay, Google, Yahoo, and many others. Moreover, this solution will provide the base infrastructure to extend the reach of enterprise SOAs to work and play with many other Web 2.0 applications and services.

A lot of people are talking about Enterprise 2.0 as being the business application of Web 2.0 technology. However, there's still some debate on exactly what this technology entails, how it applies to today's business models, and which components bring true value. Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform. Still others say that Enterprise 2.0 is all of these things. Learn More
