Viral Data in SOA

“This book is a must read for any organization using data-integration or data-interchange technologies, or simply any organization that must trust data. Neal takes the reader through an entertaining and vital journey of SOA information management issues, risks, discovery, and solutions. He provides a fresh perspective that no corporation should overlook; in fact, corporations might head blindly into SOA implementations without this awareness.”

–Kevin Downey, Senior Partner, Xteoma Inc., Canada

“Neal Fishman’s book on the viral affects of data is a much-needed warning signal for a time when critical consideration of risk and impact take a backseat in the thrive to integrate and apply new technologies. This book alerts its readers of potential risks and indicates how these can be minimized in real-world implementations. A must read for all decision makers for today’s increasingly complex information architectures.”

–Thomas Buehlmann, Ph.D., Senior Manager, Accenture, United States

Ensure the Reliability of the Data Your SOA Environment Depends Upon

Service-oriented environments can share data more widely and rapidly than ever before. Incorrect data can easily trigger inappropriate actions, prevent urgent actions from being taken, disrupt customer transactions and relationships, generate compliance problems, and damage business performance. Companies need a comprehensive blueprint for ensuring data reliability in their SOA environments. Viral Data in SOA provides that blueprint.

Leading IBM information forensics expert Neal Fishman helps you identify the unique challenges of data quality in your SOA environment–and implement solutions that deliver the best results for the long term at the lowest cost. Writing for both business and technical professionals, Fishman shows how to think about data quality on a risk/reward basis…establishing an effective data governance initiative…how to evaluate data quality, and overcome its inevitable decay…and, last but not least, how to actually derive a data quality initiative that works.

Coverage Includes

• Why poor-quality data in SOA can be dangerous to an organization

• Practical solutions for assessing, improving, and sustaining trusted information

• Why data governance is so critical–and realistic models for implementing it

• Benefits of data provenance

• Why business data is a form of metadata

• Programming and database design techniques to improve data quality

Viral Data in SOA: An Enterprise Pandemic

Helps Enterprises Realize the Vision of SOA

To ease the development of Web Services applications, BPEL Maestro 1.5 allows enterprises and system integrators to create Web service business processes using a simple flexible GUI. Companies will be able to deploy their Web service business applications faster with few resources. Complex Web Service applications, such as adjusting business processes and associated data integration, can be quickly changed.

“BPEL processes need to be executed by a runtime engine that supports a number of requirements, including native support for Web service standards as well as asynchronous messaging, process persistence, and transactional models consistent with long-term processes,” Jim Clune, director of WS Technology for Parasoft.” Parasoft BPEL Maestro satisfies these requirements by offering a unique set of technologies, and gives companies unprecedented ease-of-use and flexibility when it comes to driving Web Services business processes.”

About Parasoft BPEL Maestro

Parasoft BPEL Maestro 1.5 is a 100 percent native BPEL integration platform. Based on participation and contribution to many of the web and Web Services standards bodies (e.g. WS-I and OASIS), it contains a BPEL engine and toolkit built from the ground up to strictly adhere to Web Services standards. Features include:

• Asynchronous messaging via both JMS and SOAP/HTTP with WS-Addressing.
• Process persistence through a standard RDBMS.
• Scalability through automatic dehydration of process instances into persistent storage.
• Transactional integrity through both a short-term atomic transactional model and a long-running compensation-based model.
• Application level correlation of messages in extended, stateful conversations.
• Full-featured toolkit in the Eclipse development environment for developing, debugging, and managing BPEL processes.
• Web Service standards as basis, including BPEL, WSDL, SOAP, XML, HTTP, JMS and WS-Addressing.

“Enterprises using Web Services need not only flawless execution of complex business processes but also to reduce the time and effort to deploy those processes,” said Wayne Ariola, Vice President of Corporate Development for Parasoft Corporation. ” Parasoft BPEL Maestro 1.5 increases development productivity by providing enterprises with a fast, flexible and cost effective way to implement robust and secure Web Services utilizing industry accepted standards.”

Availability
Parasoft BPEL Maestro is available for Linux, Windows XP/2000 and Solaris.
