BEA Systems, Inc. announced the imminent release of BEA
SmartConnect 3.0, a service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach to enterprise
resource planning (ERP) connectivity. BEA SmartConnect 3.0 consists of a
proven, scalable and complete connectivity solution designed to allow
service-enabling ERP applications to quickly build new SOA-based applications,
while helping to reduce total cost of ownership and providing better performance
and scalability.
Based on BEA AquaLogic Service Bus, BEA SmartConnect 3.0 can radically change
how companies view ERP integration by enabling organizations to increase
business agility and time-to-market for ERP or customer relationship management
applications. This next-generation connectivity solution can provide key
service integration for all the BEA WebLogic and AquaLogic product families and
is designed to act as the backbone for a scalable, flexible and comprehensive
SOA which includes business process management, data services, governance and
security.
"BEA continues to raise the bar in technological innovation and SOA
advancement -- we understand our customers are seeking to increase their return
on ERP investments and that integrating enterprise-wide business processes
using SOA is the best way to do this," said Thanh Tran, senior vice
president of AquaLogic products for BEA Systems. "BEA is committed to our
customers, and we're always looking for ways to help them increase
time-to-market while lowering costs. With BEA SmartConnect 3.0, we can help our
customers react more quickly to changing market dynamics and competitive
threats which can help to reduce the average cost of ERP business
processes."
For organizations seeking to integrate ERP processes into enterprise-wide
business processes, BEA SmartConnect 3.0 can provide organizations the ability
to start with a small SOA-based integration or ERP connectivity initiative and
to move to a larger enterprise-wide, multi-domain project. Additionally, the
solution is designed to offer mission-critical reliability, performance and
security without the need for dedicated hardware unlike traditional adapters.
By offering next-generation connectivity and the full capabilities of BEA
AquaLogic Service Bus, BEA SmartConnect 3.0 is designed to deliver:
- Higher scalability
- Flexible deployments
- Ubiquitous service-oriented solution to connectivity
- Minimal downtime and ease of upgrades
- Reduction in cost of ownership
- High performance
