ISEs Give Developers a Helping Hand

“WebPutty’s key strength is that they offer the tools to provide a level of abstraction above each of the tiers in an n-tier architecture,” said Jason Bloomberg, an analyst with ZapThink LLC, a Cambridge, Mass., market research firm. “In other words, a WebPutty developer is working on the presentation tier, middle tier and data tier all at once, in the same tool, without having to jump back and forth. The WebPutty Application Platform handles all the plumbing issues behind the scenes–maintaining consistency, preserving scalability, etc. Furthermore, WebPutty does it all with XML metadata–which means that the entire service-oriented architecture can be moved from one set of servers and applications to another without any recoding.”

WebPutty Molds Tool For .NET Web-Enabled Apps

“The WebPutty Application Platform stands out as one of the most comprehensive tools for enabling developers build service-oriented architectures (SOA) on top of existing architectures on the market today,” said Jason Bloomberg, senior analyst at ZapThink. “WebPutty has thought through the capabilities needed to build SOAs, and incorporated these abilities into a set of tools that can help developers both understand service orientation and build working SOAs quickly and efficiently.”

Solving the IT Impasse with Service Orientation

There’s been a lot of talk about Web Services and Service-oriented architectures, but today’s IT managers aren’t looking for talk — they’re looking for practical solutions to today’s tough IT problems that are effective, yet inexpensive to implement. Fortunately, companies can use Web Services today to reduce the cost of integration substantially, and used strategically, Service-oriented architectures can reduce the complexity, inflexibility, and brittleness that plagues so many IT organizations.

Such architectures, however, take time and effort to put in place — time that many organizations may feel they can’t afford to spend. As a result, companies should take a step-by-step approach to implementing architectural change in their IT organizations. Fortunately, regardless of whether the existing architecture is n-tier, client/server or even centralized mainframe, these organizations have the ability to build SOAs by providing a working layer of abstraction on top of their existing architecture, as long as they have the appropriate tools. The WebPutty Application Platform provides such tools.

SOA Tools

From its inception through 2002, the primary application for Web Services in the enterprise was to simplify point-to-point integration between systems, thereby reducing the cost of integration. This application of Web Services, however, only scratches the surface of the true potential of Web Services — enabling companies to build agile business processes and IT systems that can respond to change through the use of loosely coupled, standards-based Service-oriented architectures.

The business value of such architectures in terms of the business agility they provide is substantial, but as of early 2003, only a few early adopter enterprises have built such architectures, partly because few tools for building Service-oriented architectures are available on the market, and furthermore, there is little understanding of the best practices companies should follow to build such architectures. This report seeks to clarify the requirements for realizing the value of Web Services by providing a set of emerging best pra

Service-Oriented Management Technology Landscape

Web Services management applications provide software that helps companies manage the systems and applications that underlie their Web Services implementations. The Web Services management products on the market today offer functionality in five basic categories: system management, lifecycle management, business management, security management, and the most important, Service-Oriented Architecture enablement.

The latter category is especially important because many Web Services management products provide the critical infrastructure necessary for companies to take their fine-grained, atomic Web Services and other data sources and encapsulate and compose them into coarse-grained business Services that make up a Service-Oriented Architecture. Such architectures offer far more long-term business value than the point-to-point applications of Web Services common today.
