GT Software, Inc., a leading provider of mainframe integration solutions and member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork, today announced that it has teamed with Oracle to leverage Oracle BPEL Process Manager to build solutions that deliver service-oriented architectures (SOAs). This partnership enables the simple integration of BPEL Process Manager and mainframe Web services.
GT Software's Ivory Web services allow enterprises to develop and deploy Web services, which expose mainframe-based resources that can be consumed as business processes in the BPEL flow. Ivory composite services can execute multiple mainframe resources in one SOAP request.
The Web services are developed using the Ivory Studio on the desktop and deployed on Ivory Server running on the mainframe. Once deployed, the Web service can be included in the BPEL flow as any other callable service.
