Websphere Business
Integration (WBI)
IBM offers an integrated portfolio of offerings supported
by a standards based service oriented infrastructure.
The IBM WebSphere portfolio, augmented with key offerings
from other IBM software brands, provides a complete
range of integration solutions to move you closer to
on demand, regardless of your size, industry, or integration
challenge.
WebSphere Business Integration products and tools assist
organizations in both process as well as application
integration. The benefits arising from both process
and application integration are outlined below.
Process Integration
Effective business integration enables disparate
business resources - both inside and outside an enterprise
- to work together to support a company's business strategy.
Model your enterprise business processes, perform activity-based
costing, simulate the processes and deploy them. And
then - while the processes are executed - monitor and
manage them.
 |
Efficient Process Integration allows new business
applications to be created and lets companies
differentiate themselves by making customer transactions
smoother than the competition.
|
|
Process Integration solutions can integrate the
resources supporting your business processes,
automate the transactions between them and monitor
those processes while executing them, making what
goes on inside your company visible, measurable
and auditable.
|
|
Effective Process Integration solutions return
control of business processes back to business
people from information technology (IT) people.
This means that line-of-business managers can
change business processes and quickly adapt them
to changing economic conditions. Process Integration
also provides decision makers with up-to-date
business information, allowing them to make better
business decisions immediately.
|
Application Integration
Integrate people, partners, processes and applications
on a common infrastructure, for maximum efficiency.
Address your integration needs - no matter where you
are in the spectrum or continuum of integration - from
simple connectivity all the way to the requirements
of a fully integrated, on demand enterprise.
|
Application Integration is the engine that drives
business end-to-end integrating applications on
a common infrastructure, for maximum efficiency.
|
|
React rapidly to business events, reduce inventories,
shorten new process cycle times and lower costs
by reusing existing process and applications and
other IT assets.
|
|

and across systems.
|
|
Improve service and business agility by responding
