TIBCO BusinessWorks Version 5.4 Offers Support

Latest Release Offers Increased Performance, Reliability and Security

TIBCO Software Inc. today announced a major upgrade to TIBCO BusinessWorks. This new version addresses the increasing complexity of orchestration in a standards-based format for companies that want to take their service-oriented architecture (SOA) to the next level. TIBCO BusinessWorks 5.4 implements the OASIS Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL) 1.1 specification with the industry's first support for BPEL 2.0 schemas.

The increasing adoption of SOA by enterprises is creating a complex network of discrete services. As companies break down their monolithic applications and create new services, their end goal is to compose and reuse those services as processes or new applications. TIBCO BusinessWorks with support for BPEL will further help companies simplify the re-use of existing IT assets through a more manageable, adaptive and cost-effective infrastructure. In addition, customers will be able to quickly realize the benefits of integrated applications and reusable services by more rapidly assembling composite applications and complex orchestrated services in ways that best meets their needs.

"One of the key features of version 5.4 is the ability to address the increasing complexity of orchestration. As a leader in adopting industry standards such as BPEL, TIBCO BusinessWorks will further help customers advance their service-oriented and event-driven architectures for enabling enterprise-wide growth," said Ram Menon, executive vice president, worldwide marketing. "TIBCO once again is setting the bar for SOA and ESB products by addressing key customer concerns and business priorities around industry standards, security and performance."

In addition, TIBCO BusinessWorks 5.4 extends functionality across the areas of performance, security and platform support. These enhancements enable customers to address regulatory compliance mandates, increase their visibility into business critical transactions, and improve machine utilization and application response time - TIBCO.
