SOA Magazine IV 01.2015

Dear SOA Magazine Readers,
The SOA Magazine IV edition focuses on Industrial SOA articles which showcase that SOA is much more than a web
service. Rolando Carrasco and Arturo Viveros showcase in their SOA Myth Busters article the evolution of the SOA
Suite towards a complete platform over the last 10 years. An industrial SOA platform contains also API
management to secure web services, as well b2b as a trading hub between external partners.
What is the use case for Business Process Management versus Services Oriented Architecture. SOA is mainly used
for data mediation and process orchestration between different IT systems. BPM is focused on automation on
human based processes like an employee holiday request. Key is to re-use the SOA web services for your BPM
deployment. In our holiday request example we can re-use a web service from the HR system which informs the
employee of the available holidays. In this magazine edition you learn on the BPM Side more about Gateways and
how Link Consulting is using a generator to create Human tasks. Thanks to Mark Foster who highlights in his article
10 best practices for SOA Suite and BPM Suite a must read!
