Description

IBM® WebSphere® Integration Developer is the "one tool, one set of skills" solution for end-to-end integration in your service-oriented architecture (SOA). Based on Eclipse technology, WebSphere Integration Developer 6.1 helps you build SOA-based business process management (BPM) and integration solutions across WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere ESB, and WebSphere Adapters. It simplifies integration with rich features that accelerate the adoption of SOA by rendering existing IT assets as service components, which encourages reuse and efficiency. It helps you assemble complex business solutions—whether processes, mediations, adapters, or code components—with ease. In WebSphere Integration Developer, you construct process and integration solutions using drag-and-drop technology to define, in a visual way, the sequence and flow of your business processes.
