PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - March 8, 2010) - TIBCO Software Inc. (
A Unified Approach to BPM and SOA
Discovery Holdings initially plans to standardise all its group companies including Discovery Health, Discovery Vitality, DiscoveryCard, Discovery Life and Discovery Invest on TIBCO messaging solutions for an efficient, reliable, and scalable way of distributing information and integrating its business to take advantage of a BPM enabled SOA environment.
An open, integrated infrastructure is critical for ensuring the quick and cost-effective delivery and modification of applications and services that address new and changing customer requirements. As part of the second phase of the implementation this year, Discovery will investigate the standardization of existing operational systems on a SOA platform using TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™. This will help to forge a strategy of componentization and establish greater flexibility across departmental business areas.
Discovery is also concurrently running a pilot project using TIBCO iProcess™ Suite to BPM-enable its SOA platform, and increase automation and process improvement for greater productivity and collaboration.
