Open Source SOA in Action

Open source platforms offer a compelling value proposition for SOA deployments, and two case studies presented at the recent Red Hat summit demonstrate how this value can be realized.

Writing in CIO, CIO's Esther Schindler provides accounts from SJ, the Swedish railroad, and North State Communications.

SJ integrated its ticket sales with online auctions, to move seats not sold 48 hours before departure would be auctioned online. The railroad turned to SOA to make this capability possible within its enterprise framework.

North State Communications turned to SOA to facilitate a billing system transformation. The company employed ESBs and JBoss to automate the way it makes services available to customers.

Pierre Fricke, director of SOA product line management for JBoss, said companies are only just starting to consider open source platforms for SOA. He expects the trend to accelerate by 2010. (Thanks to Matt Assay for the pointer.)

Open source is bringing SOA capabilities to what have been unserved or underserved markets -- such as small to medium businesses. Since the inception of SOA in its current form about five years ago, large commercial vendors have concentrated on the high-margin, deep-pocketed companies. Open source commoditizes SOA offerings, making it more affordable to more companies.
