Powerful Extensions to a Simple Concept

With TIBCO BusinessWorks™ software, introduced in 2001, TIBCO offers a mature ESB product that provides complete functionality for designing an SOA. TIBCO has specialized in integration for more than 20 years, pioneering event-driven architecture (EDA) with the introduction of its service-oriented Information Bus architecture in the 1980s. In fact, the philosophy at TIBCO is that enterprises need a single architecture that supports both services and events so IT departments can expose information and applications as reusable services across the enterprise and enable the real-time flow of event-driven information.
With this vast experience, TIBCO understands that an SOA is not just about Web services. While most ESBs presume everything is a Web service, pure Web services standards are not enough to ensure the integration of all applications and interfaces.

BusinessWorks is an extensible SOA enablement platform for integrating enterprise applications and developing and deploying Web services. Its bus-based architecture can be extended to accommodate a wide range of integration capabilities, providing an effective tool for organizations with complicated integration issues, and its “configure rather than coding” approach can help reduce total cost of ownership.

BusinessWorks goes beyond ESB functionality by providing an integration backbone that effectively creates, orchestrates and deploys services and assets in an enterprise SOA. The following features and functionalities in TIBCO BusinessWorks™ can help IT departments realize the full benefits of an SOA.
