Oracle SOA Suite, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, has been selected in the InfoWorld's Technology of the Year Award for "Best Enterprise Service Bus"
These products were selected from hundreds of IT products evaluated by InfoWorld's Test Center over the past year. According to the award main page InfoWorld's annual Technology of the Year awards "recognize the most capable, most polished, most groundbreaking, and most valuable products on the IT landscape."
One of the cool things about these awards is that they downloaded the product, installed it and actually kicked the tires hands-on. As a result, I view their evaluation as carrying a lot more weight than those who just look at a bunch of ppt slides and demos and don't try anything themselves.
In the press release InfoWorld's executive editor Doug Dineley is quoted as saying -
"The Oracle SOA Suite pulls together top-notch governance, business rules, security, and business activity monitoring into an ESB package replete with native BPEL orchestration and human workflow integration. Ease of implementation and affordability make it a standout consideration,"
According to the writeup that was done earlier in the year by InfoWorld's James Borck they also seemed to like what we had done to bring together the acquired technologies to round out the SOA functionality, as noted in the article - "Oracle SOA Suite culminates strategic merger-and-acquisition execution into a well-integrated product that is at once effective, usable, and highly extensible, making it a sure shot at reducing initial integration costs and benefiting management of your SOA infrastructure going forward."
