Case Study : SOA service oriented architecture

The challenge

Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá (CCB) wanted to streamline its business pro-cesses and development in order to adapt more quickly to changing business conditions. It also wanted to leverage the Internet to offer services to its members and the general public.

The solution : SOA service oriented architecture

CCB decided to implement its business processes based on a service oriented architecture (SOA) to integrate its business flexibly using repeatable and reusable business services.

CCB began the transformation with IBM WebSphere® and IBM Rational® business integration software to analyze and model processes based on their current busi-ness model. It then identified and cataloged potential services and agreed on interfaces for the components required to support its business going forward.

Subsequently, CCB used WebSphere and Rational tools to define its new IT architecture. They also designed, tested and validated the new service components. Even more, they could now define reusable interfaces, model new business pro-cesses, and discover, mediate, and orchestrate services into these processes. WebSphere Process Server run time is used to execute the processes.

CCB now uses WebSphere software to make its products and services available via the Internet, and it runs all of its IBM business integration applications on pSeries® servers running the Redhat® Enterprise Linux® Advanced Platform version 4 operating system.

The benefits : SOA service oriented architecture

CCB will:
• reduce the time to market for new services and be able to respond more quickly to its member companies.
• save development time and costs with reusable software components.
• continue to implement proven best practices in its development as it expands its portfolio of products and services.
• lower cost and improve service by delivering Internet self service across a low-cost business channel.
