White paper: Increasing IT Flexibility With IBM WebSphere ESB Software

Overview To encourage business growth while still keeping costs in check, many companies are searching for ways to increase the flexibility and reuse of their existing IT assets. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) offers a means to define services that represent a repeatable task, such as "Check customer account," using well-defined, standards-based interfaces. An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) provides a connectivity infrastructure that can be used to integrate services within an SOA. Together, SOA and an ESB help to reduce the number and complexity of interfaces, enabling focus on the core business issues, rather than on maintaining the IT infrastructure.

This paper describes how to take advantage of the benefits offered by an ESB using IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus (WebSphere ESB) software.
