Industry: Email Alert RSS FeedOracle acquires Collaxa, jumping on bandwagon.(Service-Oriented Architecture)
MSI, September, 2004
Oracle Corp. has acquired Collaxa, a four-year-old start-up company based in Redwood Shores, Calif. The reason? Collaxa's BPEL Server technology, which supports the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) specification. Jointly developed by vendors--including SAP, IBM, Siebel, and BEA Systems--BPEL allows companies to turn business processes into 'services' that then can be reused by other applications.
Now renamed the BPEL Process Manager, Oracle has been pushing the product strongly, most recently at the JavaOne conference in San Francisco in July. The move, however, has raised eyebrows. For one, it suggests that Oracle is moving to a service-oriented architecture (SOA) more fully--and more quickly--than previously had been thought.
