The WebSphere® Business
Services Fabric helps companies align business intent with IT execution
by providing end-to-end service oriented architecture (SOA) lifecycle
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
- Use prebuilt, customizable industry reference models and the 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 multi-author, multi-geography collaborative service design,
assembly, and delivery
- Use out-of-the-box integration with WebSphere Business Services Registry, and
open APIs for seamless integration with change configuration systems
and Web services management systems
