The best of times - SOA leadership
Great things are happening and customers are beginning to notice ...

Lets start with Horizons.  This is a new conference that we carried forward from the acquisition of SeeBeyond.  It is focused on customers who use the Java Composite Application Platform Suite.  This is the suite that enables customers to create a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).

Briefly, we showed our customers the awesome progress we have made in bringing together the best of what we acquired with SeeBeyond with the best of what we had at Sun - in our recent 5.1 release.  We heard of the successful projects they have completed and what they are planning.  And we filled them in on our roadmap.

There was JavaOne.  As usual - huge crowds, awesome announcements, great partners and great new products.  The one to pay attention to is all about the ability to create composite applications using  Java EE SDK SOA Starter Kit and Java Studio Enterprise.

This is a key component of our value proposition.  To grow the developer community around SOA by providing the ability to create composite applications.  And this is not just for integration developers but ALL Java developers - starting from our development tools through our suites.

And we have made available the source code for our next generation Java Composite Application Platform Suite / SOA platform.  This is called Open ESB.  It is based on JBI / JSR 208 and is a great opportunity to grow the developer community further in extending developers and partners around the platform.

And lastly in  briefings with potential customers on the road and in our executive briefing center.  They are meeting with our competition and signing up with us.  From the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) that we have at the core of our platform, to the capabilities that are layered on top.  From the delivery and management capabilities to our service offerings.  What they are talking about, we have ...

It is awesome to be in the position of SOA leadership!
