Typical Usage
ESB as an integration platformWhere an organisation uses multiple packaged or custom-built applications as well as external systems, there is always a requirement for integrating those together.
ESB as a shared service providerWhere a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been adopted, services may be shared and used across the whole organization and consumed by multiple systems.

2009 Oracle Fusion Middleware Architects of the Year

Gerard HANIFANUI & Security Architect
Irish Life Investment Managers (ILIM) needed flexibility. That’s why ILIM’s architecture team—David Jones, Gerry Hanifan, and Arnaud Benjacar, Oracle Magazine’s Oracle Fusion Middleware Architects of the Year—has invested heavily in Oracle Fusion Middleware and SOA.
ILIM provides personal financial services in the Irish market. Building on top of its successful Oracle WebLogic Server implementation, ILIM has used Oracle Fusion Middleware to create a shared enterprise service bus infrastructure with a set of common services and integration elements.
“We wanted an architecture that was loosely coupled, would allow us the flexibility to change, and didn’t require special technology skills to manage,” says Jones, head architect, ILIM. “That’s why we selected a one-stop solution from Oracle.”
Security and deployment flexibility are also important to ILIM’s architecture team. “Oracle Fusion Middleware allows you to choose the right security treatment for the range of transport protocols used when integrating with different types of client software,” says Hanifan, UI and security architect, ILIM.
