Oracle Receives Three Banking-Industry Leaders in Innovation Awards from Financial i
In its third annual Leaders in Innovation Awards, Financial i—a leading publication for the global transaction banking industry—recognized Oracle Fusion Middleware with three awards in its network services and risk management categories.

The Leaders in Innovation Awards provide recognition for those global transaction banks and financial hardware and software vendors that have excelled in terms of innovation in business solutions across wholesale transaction banking encompassing securities services, treasury & FX, data management, network services, and risk management.

According to the editors of Financial i, “Criteria we looked at included: innovations in global transaction banking business solutions over the last 12 months; what upgrades were made to existing solutions; functionality enhancements; depth and breadth of functionality; customer service segments; the ease with which customers can implement these solutions and integrate them with existing business applications; and the extent to which these solutions help firms resolve business issues, whether it is regulatory compliance, combating money laundering, reducing market data latency or helping firms build an end-to-end enterprise data management fabric.”

Oracle’s Network Services Awards:
Winner Best Enterprise Application Integration (EAI): Oracle SOA Suite
The publication noted, “Oracle has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past few years. Its open standards, preintegrated approach to application integration—otherwise known as Oracle Fusion Middleware—holds out significant promise for customers of its growing application portfolio. Oracle’s approach to integration is based around what it calls an Application Integration Architecture, a platform on which the vendor is pre-integrating particular business processes that cross over different applications. An example in its financial services global business unit is bank account origination. Oracle’s acquisition of BEA Systems should only add to it.”

Winner Best Enterprise Service Bus: Oracle Enterprise Service Bus
Financial i wrote: “The emergence of its SOA Suite, initially built on Oracle’s enterprise service bus (ESB) and moving soon to recently acquired BEA System’s highly-rated AquaLogic Service Bus, has cemented Oracle’s position at the head of the service bus market.… Oracle’s ESB for financial services was certified SWIFT-ready, easing the implementation for organizations building applications for payments, settlements and electronic trading, and that work will also be carried over to the new Oracle Service Bus.”

SOA Partner Community Forum VII – AIA Foundation Pack & SOA Suite 11g Expert Camps

July 28, 2010 Leave a comment

During our 7th SOA Partner Community Forum in Malaga our key topics how you can achieve cost reduction based on Oracle SOA technology.

Special thanks to our partners:
• Jorn Schurinik, Logica
• Sebastian Graf, Promatis
• Steven Boon, Accenture
• Torsten Winterberg, Opitz
• Hajo Normann EDS
• Mike van Alst, IT-Eye
• Herald Wolf, Wolf Consulting

who presented excellent case studies and workshops. Special thanks to the Oracle team who delivered also excellent workshops and presentations. If you like to download the presentations or you missed the event please register and visit the Oracle SOA Partner Community www.oracle.com/goto/emea/soa (OPN account required)

During our Expert Camp workshops we trained our partners hands-on in AIA Foundation Pack and SOA Suite 11g.

AIA becomes key in the Oracle portfolio to integrate out of the box Oracle Applications with each other e.g. Siebel with Peoplesoft and with their party applications. AIA Foundation Pack enables you to simplify cross-application business process integrations using a standards-based, prebuilt integration solution. Designed to promote rapid deployment, re-usability, and configurability of business processes, AIA Foundation Pack saves significant time, effort and cost, compared to building integrations from the ground up and helps you realize the value of a SOA at an accelerated pace. Special thanks to Christopher Venezia who did run the AIA Foundation Pack Expert Camp.

The hands-on SOA Suite 11g gave our partners the opportunity to become trained with the new concept of a Service Component Architecture (SCA). The standards-based SCA architecture for SOA enables us to package up applications and services and easily deploy them across the entire grid architecture. Furthermore, we can rapidly scale those applications with a minimum amount of effort and resources. Special thanks to Clemens Utschig-Utschig who did run the SOA Suite 11g Expert Camp.

ISVs Fusion Middleware Adoption & Innovation by GIP and convergin

Last month I attended a conference from a very innovative ISV GIP: Their Xyenia solution becomes key for German Telecommunications Providers. Many companies like Deutsche Telekom AG, Kabel BW or Arcor adopted their solution. Xynia is fully build on Oracle technology, database including Real Application Cluster for high availability and of course our complete middleware stack OC4J and Oracle SOA Suite.

Our next joint challenge is to adopt Oracle Weblogic Server. Therefore we offer for our ISVs a special migration service. In our labs we will support with best practices a most seamless migrations.

With the joint BEA and Oracle forces in Communications we are the key middleware player in this industry. Another great example is also our partner convergin who presented their solution in our Next Generation IN (NGIN) Infrastructure webcast in December.

Please feel free to contact us any time if we can support to adopt your solution on Oracle Weblogic. For more details please visit our SOA Partner Community www.oracle.com/goto/emea/soa (OPN account required)

BEA Integration completed

July 28, 2010 Leave a comment

On 1st December 2008, Oracle finalised the integration of BEA systems across the Europe Middle East and Africa region.

This acquisition helps to make us a more strategic to our partners and customers. The combination of Oracle and BEA Systems brings together the leading product development experts in open-standards technology, provides a larger global footprint of sales and services professionals to address customer needs, and provides a larger network of partners to deliver solutions using application infrastructure technology.

Together, Oracle and BEA Systems provide a complementary best-in-class middleware portfolio that spans Java Application Servers, transaction processing monitors, SOA and business process management, user interaction and Web 2.0, identity management, business intelligence, enterprise content management and vertical-specific technologies. Our partners can expect to benefit from a stronger, more scalable software vendor. With the combined solutions, partners can focus their investment and build one strong middleware practice

As our Q2 FY09 numbers proof Oracle is the key player! Charles Philips “all the product in Fusion Middleware grow very strong, we do have 18.000 (OFM) customers”

We welcome our new partners from BEA Systems into the Oracle Partner Network and would like to invite them to join the SOA Partner Community: please visit www.oracle.com/goto/emea/soa (OPN account required)
