Elevator Pitch
Oracle SOA Suite lets WebLogic customers develop
strategic next generation custom and composite
applications while minimizing total cost of ownership.
With SOA Suite, customers get faster time to market
and make changes, and gain greater visibility into
composite applications and business processes.
Competition
IBM
IBMs SOA platform is a bundle of products that are not
integrated. IBM relies heavily on Global Services to
deliver the solution. The solution is WebSphere only,
relies on using Tivoli security only, and does not have
central error handling. Oracle SOA Suite is hot
pluggable, optimized for WLS and is well-integrated.
TIBCO
Business Works and Active Matrix can be used to do
technical integrations, but their tools are not well
suited to address business problems. Their solution
excludes governance, monitoring and security.
Open Source
Appears to be less expensive without license/support
fees. But you get what you pay for. The TCO of open
source is realized when your company relies on these
technologies and needs new features and bug fixes.
SOA Governance - HP, AmberPoint, Software
AG, SOA Software
These companies write governance software, but they
dont own SOA frameworks. Oracle governance tools
are tightly integrated with SOA Suite and also work
with a variety of other technologies.
Objection Handling
Objection: Our company has already invested too much
application development time and money in WebLogic
Integration to rip and replace it with other tools.
Response: We understand that a rip and replace
strategy doesn't make sense for you. Oracle suggests
that you have WLI co-exist with SOA Suite and migrate
your WLI integrations over to SOA suite following the
natural lifecycle of the applications that you've integrated
with WLI.
Objection: Wont it cost a lot of money to use SOA
Suite as my strategic development platform?
Response: Yes, initially costs may be higher for your
first projects, as you ramp up your skills and acquire the
technology. Over time, SOA Suite will reduce your total
cost of ownership: development, test, deployment,
and operations. In addition, instead of developing
applications from scratch each time, youll be able
to reuse services to speed development cycles and
decrease duplicate effort.
SOA Suite also uses standards-based declarative tools to
greatly reduce coding time. Of course, SOA Suite is
flexible enough to allow you to add custom Java code if
needed. This means that there is less custom
development and integration coding work for your
projects. The SOA Suite tools can be used by
developers with broad backgrounds, and they are easy
to learn. Developing solutions without much
programming increases your companys agility to make
changes based on business requirements.
Objection: I heard that SOA is dead.
Response: Yes, some analysts are saying that, and its
very catchy. However, if you read the articles, you
discover that theyre not actually saying SOA is dead.
Rather, empty enterprise strategic sales of SOA are
dead. All the analysts still agree that using SOA
