- service-oriented architecture (SOA)
- parallel processing of tasks
- fault handling and exception management during both design time and run time

- compensation mechanisms for the implementation of long-running transactions
- scalability and reliability of processes
• management and administration of processes
- version control
- audit trails for tracing business flow history
- installation across multiple operating systems and integration with multiple application servers (for example, Oracle Application Server, BEA WebLogic, and JBoss) and databases
Oracle BPEL Process Manager adds value and ease of use to BPEL functionality by providing support for the following in JDeveloper BPEL Designer:

| Integrating Portal, Content Services and BPEL to Reduce TCO in Medical Education |
Business processes have traditionally been executed via phone and paper interactions. Most of these processes involve forms and documents of many kinds to facilitate the work. Processes can be accommodated by leveraging Content Services for document management. Custom BPEL workflows ensure that proper process is adhered to. Portal is the delivery mechanism for all participating users.
The presentation will demonstrate the integration of these key technologies – Portal, Content Services and BPEL – to enable some of these corporate initiatives at a lower cost of implementation and with increased operational efficiency.
Reducing TCO at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons is a major factor for implementing Oracle Portal and eBusiness strategy. Leveraging a consolidated infrastructure, a one vendor approach and native integration between components are key ways in which that objective can be met. |
