Product overview

WebSphere® Business Services Fabric v7.0 (known as Fabric), an extension to WebSphere Process Server, creates and manages modular, dynamically assembled, extensible processes.

Fabric organizes the BPM plus SOA infrastructure into reusable, flexible modules called intelligent Business Services, then assembles these modules at runtime based on the current business situation and policy. Each module's lifecycle is separated from umbrella core processes – and each other – making the manageability of complex BPM projects easier while significantly lowering TCO.

Fabric also extricates and makes accessible to business users prolific, formerly hard-coded process variability, enabling governed change at the speed of business, not a change ticket. In addition, modularization enables new functionality to be added to a process without changing or redeploying the core process, providing for rapid time-to-market for new business initiatives. Fabric enables Enterprise to realize the original SOA vision of architectural flexibility and reuse – saving time and money while creating a more agile business environment.

Working together, the Business Services Foundation Pack and the Business Services Tool Pack simplify the management, governance, and process interoperability of business services.
