Abstract

A system and storage medium for providing a full service oriented architecture environment solution for enterprises. The system and storage medium include backend systems, enabling technology modules or components, specific domain services adapted for the domain, applications relevant for the domains, development tools, exemplary business content, and optionally also demo programs. All components and applications are pre-configured to work in coordination with no further configuration requirements, or installation or additional components. The system and storage medium optionally comprise exemplary data for the environment.

Claims

1. A system for installing and deploying within an organization a domain environment employing service oriented architecture on a general purpose computer, the system comprising:

an application component, providing at least two processes relevant for the organization;

a process integration component for integrating the at least two processes;

a service consumption component for using the at least two processes; and

a user interface component for receiving information from a user activating at least one of the at least two processes, thereby providing a service-oriented-architecture (SOA) for the organization,

wherein the application component, the process integration component, the service consumption component and the user interface component are entirely pre-configured and ready to operate together as an executable program on a general purpose computer; and

further comprising an installation deployment component for deploying the application component, the process integration component;

the service consumption component;

or the user interface component.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the application component is selected from the group consisting of:

a process component providing business functionality;

a service component providing infrastructure functionality;

a component for communicating with a customer or partner application; and

a component for communicating with a legacy system.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the process integration component is selected from the group consisting of:

a system management component;

a service locator component; and

a service and event enablement component.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the service consumption component is selected from the group consisting of:

a business process composition component;

a user interface composition component;

an event composition component; and

information composition component.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the user interface component is selected from the group consisting of:

a form;

a portal;

dedicated graphic user interface (GUI);

mobile GUI; and

a business client component.

6. The system of claim 1 further comprising a development environment for adding a business process to the environment.

7. The system of claim 1 further comprising a database and an operating system.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the application component, the process integration component, the service consumption component and the user interface component are pre-configured to communicate with at least one other component.

9. The system of claim 1 further comprising exemplary data associated with the environment.

10. The system of claim 1 wherein the environment is a banking environment.

11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium containing a set of instructions for installing and deploying a domain environment system employing service oriented architecture on a general purpose computer, wherein the set of instructions comprises:

an application component, providing at least two processes relevant for an organization;

a process integration component for integrating the at least two processes;

a service consumption component for using the at least two processes;

a user interface component for receiving information from a user activating at least one of the at least two processes;

thereby providing a service-oriented-architecture (SOA) for the organization;

wherein the application component, the process integration component, the service consumption component and the user interface component are entirely pre-configured and ready to operate together as an executable program on a general purpose computer; and

further comprising an installation deployment component for deploying the application component, the process integration component;

the service consumption component;

or the user interface component.

12. The computer readable storage medium of claim 11 further comprising exemplary data associated with the environment.
