Look­ing for ear­ly adopters for REST trans­ac­tions and light-weight BPM

Ear­ly adopters want­ed! We are work­ing on some­thing rad­i­cal­ly dif­fer­ent and new in the in­dus­try, be­ing a light-weight trans­ac­tion (and BPM) mod­el for REST with the fol­low­ing char­ac­ter­is­tics:

• Guar­an­teed in­ter­op­er­abil­i­ty
• Easy and in­tu­itive to use
• No tech­nol­o­gy de­pen­den­cies, so no con­fig­u­ra­tion re­quired
• Com­pat­i­ble with the REST ar­chi­tec­tur­al con­straints

To get an idea of what it is like, con­sid­er the fol­low­ing ex­am­ple: a tel­co op­er­a­tor wants to al­low cus­tomers to ac­quire 'per­son­al­ized' phone num­bers for a fee. The process is the fol­low­ing, as­sum­ing an in­com­ing re­quest for a giv­en cus­tomer and a cho­sen phone num­ber:

1. The sys­tem checks if the num­ber is avail­able, and if so then re­serves that num­ber for some time (on be­half of the cus­tomer).
2. The cus­tomer's cred­it is checked in the billing sys­tem.
3. If OK, then the phone num­ber reser­va­tion is con­firmed and the billing is done.
4. Other­wise, the phone num­ber is re­leased again and no billing is done.

Imag­ine the BPM mod­el­ing you would need to do to han­dle all fail­ure sce­nar­ios and con­fir­ma­tion sce­nar­ios from that last 2 steps. We know from ex­pe­ri­ence that this does not scale...

In­stead, what we of­fer is a com­plete and re­li­able au­toma­tion of the con­fir­ma­tion and can­cel­la­tion steps - let­ting you fo­cus on the hap­py path of the work­flow. We do this via a ser­vice called TaaS ( TCC as a Ser­vice) and plan to of­fer a REST im­ple­men­ta­tion of that. We've pre­sent­ed this idea at the re­cent SOA sym­po­sium (the pre­sen­ta­tion can be found here) and we are look­ing for ear­ly adopters to spon­sor our ver­sion one prod­uct...

So if your SOA should be light­weight and in­volves the con­cept of reser­va­tions of busi­ness re­sources then please email us to­day to ap­ply for our ear­ly adopter pro­gram. Don't wait, be­cause be­ing a small com­pa­ny we can only do a few of these and first come means first served...
