Open Integration Tools Upgrade Due in March

A report from Evans Data Corp. has found that more than half of all DBAs are working not just with their SQL database, but with web services, XML, middleware and even application performance tasks. See more about the changing face of DBAs and devs in 2005.

Architects and devs frustrated by a fragmented BPM market of more than 140 different tools may finally get some relief in 2005. The Meta Group's new report shows CIOs, architects and devs the Top 6 features to look for in a business process management solution. Review the checklist.

The major theme for the year ahead will be turning some of IT's biggest 'pet theories' into full-scale, real-life production assets, says John Goodson, a vice president of production operations for DataDirect Technologies. See which IT trial balloons Goodson says will get swift upward momentum, and how architects and senior devs can benefit.

Developers at the University of Illinois are working on a major upgrade to their Java-based OpenEAI project, an Open Source alternative to expensive and proprietary ERP/EAI middleware solutions. The OpenEAI framework 4.0 is due for release in March, and sports a wide array of integration-enabling templates, business workflow rules and components for Java, XML and ERP APIs. Get an overview, and the free download.

In 2005, IT architects and devs will focus more on how to build 'business value' into their software, says a managing director for ThoughtWorks, a leading SOA services and consulting firm. See how execs at F1000 firms are combining SOA, agile and even Open Source to tune software to business needs.

A pair of recent surveys of IT execs expect 2005 will see many shops with COBOL/RPG legacy systems seriously review .NET-based middleware options will give Java a run for its money in offering effective and low-cost ways to integrate legacy apps and data into web applications and web services.

After over 2 years of vendor discussion, Sonic's Dave Chappell says 2005 will finally see the adoption of JSR-208 (Java Business Integration), which will set the stage for a new wave of Java-based integratable components. See why Chappell says JBI will make it easier for Java/J2EE architects and developers will find it easier to implement cutting-edge SOA-driven solutions.

Execs watching the XML space say that architects and devs are lining up to learn more about using XML for data integration and doc sharing. The result: 2005's next wave of open XML standards and tools, including XQuery, will cut integration costs and time for building complex data portals and allowing cross-database queries. See what's coming up.
