China Partners and Customers Deploy SOA Today With SOA 360

BEA attributes to growth in China to the company's SOA concept and solutions, technologies and products. Since launch of the BEA AquaLogic product family in mid-2005, the products, along with other BEA products, have seen positive traction with customers in SOA deployment. For example, SinoPec International Prospecting Company (SIPC) has adopted the business information management system which is critical for implementation of BEA AquaLogic. SIPC has 16 functional departments and more than 20 overseas branches around the world, and a highly distributed IT environment. The BEA-based SOA project helped SIPC improve the management and control its data.

Another example of SOA deployment in China is Guizhou Power Grid Information Integration Platform, who in April 2006 went live with a BEA-based SOA solution. The new system integrates data that was distributed on different platforms and application systems, improved decision-making response time and enabled the entire enterprise to easily deploy and upgrade the applications, the company said.

"BEA SOA solution has better met our demand on data integration and assisted us to cope with the rapidly developing business demand with flexible IT solutions and has provided robust impetus for Guizhou Power Grid's development," said Luo Sixi, Director of Security and Production department, Guizhou Power Grid.
