SOA can help enable organisations to achieve greater responsiveness to customer needs, and can increase competitive advantage, through the delivery of highly-targeted and dynamic customer-facing business services.
In spite of SOA’s transformative impact on both business and IT, many companies are striving to understand the full capabilities, opportunities, and challenges that SOA applications bring to their organisation.
Further, new regulations mandate a high level of control and accountability for the code, content, and configurations reflected in those applications. To help address these challenges, Interwoven and BEA have expanded their partnership to jointly leverage Interwoven’s award-winning Composite Application Provisioning (CAP) Solution and the BEA AquaLogic and WebLogic Platforms, businesses can better manage and streamline SOA application development and deployment, and obtain increased business agility and improved IT efficiency.
The companies say that together they provide a new category of enterprise software that is designed to enable companies to seamlessly manage the complete SOA lifecycle — from application development, to release control and deployment, to ongoing management and reuse.
