TIBCO BusinessWorks

Application integration technologies have matured in recent years, AT A G L A N C E

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
today’s 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.

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 flows to
improve the consistency and adaptability of both
IT and business operations.
BENEFITS
• Reduces costs and boosts productivity by
enabling IT personnel to configure application
interfaces, build complex data transformations,
and orchestrate process definitions 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
