Washington Group International Integrates Business Processes With Service-Oriented Architecture

Overview Washington Group International provides the talent, innovation, and proven performance to deliver integrated engineering, construction, and management solutions for businesses and governments worldwide. The company wanted to unify applications and business processes across multiple lines of business and diverse geographic locations. The challenge was to align IT infrastructure with business goals and improve efficiency enterprise-wide. Washington Group implemented Oracle Fusion Middleware as the foundation for a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to help integrate applications and streamline business processes. The company also leveraged Oracle BPEL Process Manager, Oracle JDeveloper 10g, and Oracle Web Services Manger to transition from a point-to-point integration model to a Web Services based model.
