Composing Real World SOA Applications

Tony MelegSenior Product ManagerConnected Systems DivisionMicrosoft Corporation

Some Context Setting

Business processes span applications and boundaries – we live in a distributed world

Solutions encompass a range of capabilities

It is still hard… SOA helps/will help… but we need more…

Microsoft is a “platform” company

Technology is only “part” of your problem

We will focus this morning on WHAT, WHY and HOW…

Key Themes in SOA

Foundations for SOA Services

(standard way to expose/call

a unit of work that some software does)

Workflows(Coordinating the work

of an application, usually over a long

timeframe)

Windows Communication FoundationWindows Server/IIS

Windows Workflow Foundation, .NET and BizTalk Server

Why SOA..?

Empower Customers and Employees with Unified View of Information and Processes

Connect

Timely Responsiveness to Market and Competitive threats

Change

Gain critical insights on business processes and performance

Control

Business Flexibility > proportional to < Application Flexibility

Windows Workflow Foundation and BizTalk…?

Different workflow engines that work the same way using different implementations

BizTalk has many capabilities specifically for direct integration to systems

BizTalk has it’s own workflow engine but it cannot be re-purposed, re-hosted or extended

WF is a general purpose engine

WF needs a Host and some additional capabilities for persistence, scaling, management
