Sun's Identity-Enabled B2B Integration SOA Offering
Enterprises need to share data with hundreds of thousands of trading partners daily, often through 'one-off' custom integrations that connect heterogeneous environments with technology from multiple vendors. As companies tackle larger B2B integration projects, these corporations are challenged with developing a B2B platform that can be re-used across multiple projects and which can provide a single point of entry into the company's firewalls.
Sun's Identity-Enabled Business-to-Business (B2B) solution aims at to securely centralizing and automating management of large numbers of transactions and trading partners across different enterprise applications and systems. The solution is comprised of Sun's B2B solution, part of the Sun Java Composite Application Suite (CAPS), and Sun's identity management products.
"Secure business integration is a fundamental driver of technology adoption and Sun continues to work with enterprises to develop automated standards-based solutions that enable them to grow their businesses through trading partners," said Jim McHugh, vice-president, Software Infrastructure, Sun Microsystems.
"The key benefits [of using B2B solutions] are improved productivity, shorter cycle times, lower processing costs, and improved customer service. Organizations that have not already implemented electronic information exchange systems should assess projected improvements in these areas to establish the business case for implementing B2B integration technology in the context of broader process improvement initiatives," writes Ken Vollmer, senior principal analyst, Forrester Research.
Sun says its IT department is also deploying the solution to help better manage users, projects and other resources across the company in a secure environment. Sun's internal B2B infrastructure will be moved to a Java CAPS platform. "Our first phase will be delivered in Sun's fourth quarter FY'07 and will allow us to consolidated our current assets onto one single platform. Subsequent deployments will move towards a fully integrated Java CAPS B2B infrastructure that will allow Sun IT to utilize the full stack of Java CAPS tools and simply our business processes while saving money." said Mike Ricigliano, Senior IT Manager, Enterprise Messaging and Integration Services, Sun Microsystems.
