IBM® WebSphere® Business
Services Fabric helps companies align business intent with IT execution by
providing end-to-end service-oriented architecture (SOA) life cycle management
capabilities consisting of the model, assemble, deliver, manage, and govern
phases.
Model
- Enable code-free discovery of services from process models, service registries,
code repositories, and file systems.
- Model top-down and bottom-up policy-driven relationships between subscribers
and business services sourced from internal and external applications.
- Syndicate business services reliably and securely from independent software
vendors (ISV) and business partner assets.
Assemble
- Facilitate the simplified, model-driven assembly of business services
into new flexible processes and applications.
- Assemble solutions from an inventory of underlying business services sourced
from internal and external systems.
- Leverage prebuilt, customizable industry reference models and the IBM
SOA Catalog.
Deliver
- Enable role-based, contextual assembly and delivery of business services
across multiple communication channels such as the World Wide Web, business-to-business
(B2B), and interactive voice response (IVR).
- Deliver dynamic, context-aware business processes by replacing hard-coded
service bindings with dynamic endpoint selection based on content, context,
and contract.
Manage
- Automate and control multi-entity and multidomain entitlement of business
services for service consumers.
- Enable application administrators to create, control, and manage role-based
on demand service packages to subscribers across the business ecosystem.
Govern
- Provide architectural visibility and control by applying consistent design-time,
run-time, and change-time policies.
- Govern multiauthor, multigeography collaborative service design, assembly,
and delivery.
- Leverage out-of-the-box integration with IBM WebSphere Business Services
Registry, and open APIs for seamless integration with change configuration
systems and Web services management systems.
