Our second SOA vendor interview was with BEA’s Martin Percival yesterday. Again we followed our standard format – and in the resulting 34′30″ podcast we get into discussing:
- BEA’s experience of delivering “information as a service” projects within SOA initiatives
- How SOA is about more than just WS-* technology
- BEA’s transition from a pure Java implementation focus to a broader focus, re-embracing its “legacy” middleware platform Tuxedo, the Microsoft expertise of its Plumtree acquisition, and also pointing to the SCA/SDO effort that it’s a member of
- Why it bought Flashline (a software development repository vendor) and didn’t buy a SOA registry vendor (it partners with Systinet/Mercury/HP)
- How its SOA 360 initiative will impact on the admin & management of the BEA platform.
