Key business benefits

Copyright © 2007 Idha Software Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
Key Business Benefits

 Saved umpteen man hours of work load

 Increased visibility of entity status and history

 Elimination of duplicate data entry

 Open architecture

 Architecture can be rolled out to other Service


Providers using any of the protocols (Web
Services, ftp….)

 Rapid Development – Reduced implementation


time by 50%

Key Benefits of BPEL based Service Oriented Integration

 The power of an open standard - By capturing business processes


in BPEL, avoid vendor lock-in. BPEL is to business process
management what SQL was to data management
 Unparalleled visibility and administration - The BPEL Console
helps visually monitor the execution of each BPEL process, drill
down into the audit and view the details of each conversation or
debug a running flow against its BPEL implementation
 Dramatic cost savings - The Oracle BPEL Process Manager is 60-
80% less expensive to buy and maintain than traditional EAI
solutions.
 Service Oriented Integration approach - is more flexible and is
agnostic of underlying run time container as opposed to traditional
approach.
 Systematic Reuse - as each BPEL process, in turn, becomes yet
another compose-able standards based web service.
 SOA Environment – Modular and reusable business services are
orchestrated in a model driven declarative manner.
