Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) enables IT organizations to better align themselves with the business by more quickly and cost-effectively delivering and modifying applications and services that address new and changing business requirements. TIBCO's solution helps enterprises achieve SOA success by enabling them to more easily and effectively create, deploy, and manage services across their distributed and diverse IT infrastructure and global organizations. TIBCO ActiveMatrix™ is a service platform for heterogeneous SOA. It gives enterprises a simpler and more productive way to deliver service-oriented applications by cleanly separating the applications from the technology details. This separation enables companies to incrementally add orchestration, integration, mediation, Java, and .NET for services to a unified runtime platform. Business analysts, architects, developers, and administrators can now be up to 50% more productive by collaborating through common tools to graphically compose, deploy, and manage service-oriented applications. Administrators can now deploy applications composed of heterogeneous services through a single console. Built-in governance allows companies to add policy management or govern the service lifecycle without having to change the applications. TIBCO ActiveMatrix grid-based architecture handles the details of hosting and governing these services across distributed and diverse IT infrastructures and global

With the TIBCO ActiveMatrix platform organizations are able to build next-generation applications that combine services created with disparate vendor technologies. The platform also replaces much of the technical coding involved in service creation, deployment and management, giving business analysts, architects, developers and administrators a common environment that streamlines application development. With built-in governance and management capabilities administrators have the control they need from a single, reliable console to easily deploy applications, apply policies without having to change the services, and add load balancing or fault tolerance to keep applications up and running. In this latest release, TIBCO

ActiveMatrix has been expanded to further simplify SOA integration, composite application development and governance under a unified platform to increase productivity.

Companies can now build, deploy and manage service-oriented applications with any combination of Java, .NET, service mediation, orchestration, and existing custom and packaged applications. Business and IT users can also collaborate more easily to compose composite applications by leveraging ActiveMatrix 2.0’s expanded support for Service Component Architecture (SCA).
