Bangalore: Oracle today (Aug 9, 2005) announced its new integrated, standards-based business process platform that simplifies the security of the service-oriented architectures (SOAs) and Web services.

The new platform comprises Oracle BPEL Process Manager and Oracle Web Services Manager that enables customers to easily and cost-effectively implement end-to-end Web services security and management, helping guarantee that web services deployed within or across enterprise firewalls are 100 per cent secure, a company release said.

The combined products make it simple to create, integrate, orchestrate and access secure web services without hard coding security policies, transformations, location transparency and version control, the release said.

Based on the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) standard, Oracle BPEL process manager allows organisations to easily implement adaptive transactions and collaborative business processes based on composite applications.

Oracle Web services manager secures and manages the operations of web services and the interactions between the services. When integrated the two provide a secure business process platform that includes all the elements required to secure business processes built on any Java-based application server, it said.
