IBM WebSphere Business Process Management is a solution for modeling, assembling, deploying, and managing applications that embody a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and are integrated using an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). Service-oriented architecture is an enterprise-scale IT architectural style that develops IT resources as business-aligned services to fulfill business needs. SOA supports service orientation, which is a way of integrating the business as linked services and the outcomes that they bring. Service orientation enables applications to invoke each others' behavior as services, that is, repeatable business tasks that are self-describing and discoverable, meet specified quality of service requirements, and can be managed through governance.
