Recommendations to others considering IBM webMethods Integration:
webMethods IS Cloud is best used if your organization has lot of sub system which do not designed base on same architecture, or legacy systems which was created over different period where their output format, technology varies and your company is fully ready for working online. webMethods Integration Cloud ease routing of transaction/data, transform / map them accordingly as needed, save cost by orchestrating existing systems for new goal without need to develop a new one . Dedicated System Administrator is a must when implemented at full scale to take care of network/system performance issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is IBM webMethods Integration solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using webMethods Integration Server to create SaaS services facade in private cloud to serve requests & do routing to other nodes for further process. In this project I'm using SOAP Web Service, both as producer & consumer. Web Service Descriptors are used to publish implementation details to other potential IS user. The request, depends on incoming parameters, will either be processed & returned as producer, or route to other web-services as consumer for further data processing which results are further aggregated before response back to service call. The respective SOAP web service are written in JavaEE separately.
I've used components i.e sequence, branch, map etc. to create my routing flow service. I find it quite reusable at times where they can be 'invoke' from other flow (not even need to copy-paste). The debugging of flow service also good that it allows to see the output of each steps and simulate it using different variables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
