New Integration Features in Oracle Application Server 10g Increase Business Flexibility and Lower Cost of Business Integration

Leverage Existing IT Assets and Lower Cost of Business Integration
Oracle Application Server 10g lowers integration costs by providing a single platform to address data integration, Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), Web services and composite applications, Business-to-Business (B2B) integration, Business Process Management and Business Activity Monitoring. Because these integration capabilities are built into Oracle Application Server 10g, you benefit clustering, high availability and enterprise grid computing features in new integration deployments.

New integration features in Oracle Application Server 10g include:

Connect to Any Data
Oracle Application Server 10g provides all the capabilities required to reliability deliver data from different databases and applications to virtually any system, including XML messaging, data transformation and validation, and advanced metadata facilities. With Oracle Application Server 10g, you create a common company-wide data model that acts as a single hub of information and reduces the cost of future integration projects. Easy-to-use declarative tools and pre-built adapters for a wide range of off-the-shelf applications and data sources eliminate the need for labor-intensive customer setup and programming.

Enhanced Support for B2B Integration
Securely manage transactions with trading partners and suppliers. Built-in support for industry-specific B2B protocols such as EDI, RosettaNet (high-tech manufacturing), and HL/7 (healthcare) lower the cost of integration - you no longer need expensive, proprietary point-to-point integration products that require a separate solution for each integration project.

Business Process Optimization, Streamline Trading Partner Management and Administration
New B2B management features streamline trading partner administration by maintaining trading partner profiles, collaboration details, and agreements on how trading partners will interact. New model-based, event-driven tools for Business Process Management (BPM) and Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) help organizations track and analyze business flows throughout their entire system.
