Oracle's SOA Governance solution strives to ease the transition of an organization to service-oriented architecture (SOA). The Oracle SOA Governance solution goal is to guide users along the path to measurable SOA success. The solution automates essential SOA governance processes, regardless of the status or progress of an SOA transformation. The most recent release is Oracle SOA Governance 11g, which Oracle states is the "most complete, unified approach for governing service oriented architecture and application integration projects."

Oracle SOA Governance 11g consists of Oracle Enterprise Repository, Oracle Service Registry, SOA Management with Oracle Enterprise Manager, and Oracle Web Services Manager. It supports Oracle Applications including Oracle E-Business Suite and Siebel along with Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA).

A component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle SOA Governance 11g enables organizations to manage their heterogeneous software project artifacts under a unified governance umbrella. “With the launch of Oracle SOA Governance 11g, Oracle becomes the only vendor to offer a unified management approach for both best-of-breed SOA and packaged applications within a single platform," stated Amlan Debnath, senior vice president, Oracle Product Development. "This unified governance umbrella not only helps organizations to deliver new business capabilities more efficiency, but also helps ensure that they are closely aligned with key business objectives.”

Key new features include:

• Unified Governance for SOA and Packaged Applications: A single set of lifecycle management processes and tools to simplify and automate management of services originating from packaged applications or other SOA based infrastructure. Packaged application content can be managed and re-used along with other services and composite applications.

• Closed Loop Metrics from Oracle Enterprise Manager: Enables Oracle Enterprise Repository customers to access performance summary data at design time. Performance data can come from Oracle SOA Management or AmberPoint

• Automatic, Closed Loop Artifact Harvesting throughout the SOA Lifecycle: Automated artifact harvesting at each stage of the lifecycle reduces risks associated with making decisions based on stale data by providing enhanced visibility into SOA dependencies.

• Registry Repository support for Oracle SOA Suite11g, Oracle Service Bus and Oracle Business Process Analysis (BPA) Suite: Reduces tooling complexity and offers single vendor reliance for all SOA governance and lifecycle management needs.

• Business Transaction Management: Helps organizations diagnose and resolve issues in application performance and business transactions, such as insurance claims processing or account provisioning, where multiple applications need to work together.

This latest release is fully integrated with Oracle SOA Suite 11g - an integrated, best-of-breed suite of products to help design, assemble, deploy and manage, highly agile and adaptable business applications - and Oracle AmberPoint. More Information
