  • Oracle SOA Suite 11g delivers a complete, integrated and hot-pluggable SOA platform that enables next-generation business applications by simplifying service access, integration, orchestration, Complex Event Processing (CEP), monitoring and management.
  • New capabilities include Native SCA Designer, integration of Event Driven Network, Multi-Dimensional Business Process Management, centralized governance and security policies, and cross-application, end-to-end instance tracking.
    • Native SCA Designer: helps improve developer productivity through drag-and-drop features and fosters collaboration between business analysts and IT developers with a composite application blueprint.
    • Integration of Event Driven Network and Services Capabilities: enables simple development of event-based applications with rich graphical tooling on top of underlying asynchronous messaging protocols.
    • Unified Business Process Management: supports unified human, system and document-centric processes.
    • Business Rules: integrated business rules engine with business-friendly, decision table-like design interface makes it easy to express and modify rules on business processes.
