Identifying Best-of-Breed Characteristics in ESBs

Overview As business integration has cemented itself at the top of the list of business and IT concerns for many companies, attention has become focused on achieving this integration quickly and effectively while at the same time maintaining attractive levels of return on investment. One of the most exciting developments to emerge throughout this period of change is that of the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). ESBs address a number of key challenges in this market and are rapidly establishing themselves as flexible, productive and robust standards-based solutions to many integration needs. But if the ESB is to become such a critical element of operations, then selection of the particular ESB offering to implement becomes a decision of major importance. Making the wrong choice is likely to seriously impact the pace and ultimate success of business integration initiatives. Therefore it is worth taking time to contrast the characteristics of ESBs and to identify the key areas that represent best-of-breed capabilities.
