May 13, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- IBM has unveiled new business process and integration software and services that will reportedly enable organizations to accelerate adoption of big data, cloud, mobile and social business technologies.
IBM's new business process and integration software and services will enable organizations to extend and connect their existing infrastructures to a variety of mobile devices and machine-to-machine (M2M) technologies, the company said.
At the cornerstone of this strategy is IBM MessageSight, a new appliance designed to help organizations manage and communicate with the mobile devices and sensors found in systems such as automobiles, traffic management systems, smart buildings and household appliances, the company added.
IBM is extending its Business Process Management (BPM) and Operational Decision Management (ODM) solutions to integrate with the IBM MobileFirst portfolio. With access to these IBM MobileFirst capabilities, clients can now infuse their processes and operational decision making into custom mobile apps, accelerating the delivery of mobile BPM applications and tapping into location, camera and notification features.
IBM is making both IBM BPM and IBM ODM solutions available on the IBM SmartCloud as a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering. These advances in cloud options for business processes complement a new release of IBM Blueworks Live, a fully SaaS-based cloud offering that enables clients to capture, document and understand the decisions that businesses use to run their operations, the company reported.
According to IBM, to help business leaders design their operations for change, it is announcing new BPM Industry Solutions that combine IBM Global Business Services' industry and process expertise with IBM software to enable clients to be proactive. These solutions will initially target the banking, insurance and financial markets, and healthcare industries. IBM is also announcing updates, including IBM API Management; IBM WebSphere Application Server; and IBM Integration Bus.
IBM is unveiling IBM API Management to help organizations create, manage and socialize APIs in an effort to extend their products and services to various mobile channels. Clients can also access a collaboration portal to view operational metrics and gain business insights into how apps are performing in the market.
WebSphere Application Server (WAS) now supports several open standards protocols and integrates with the IBM MobileFirst platform and IBM MessageSight to help organizations build and run new web applications that embrace big data, cloud, mobile and social business technologies.
With access to IBM MobileFirst capabilities, organizations can now extend data to mobile devices in real time to improve business operations with IBM Integration Bus. Additionally, new traffic shaping capabilities allow organizations to monitor and interpret data flowing into the enterprise from mobile devices.
"The technology shifts created by big data, cloud, mobile and social business are drastically changing the business landscape, driving an intelligent, interconnected and instrumented world that is smarter than ever before," said Marie Wieck, general manager, WebSphere, IBM. "To be competitive on today's Smarter Planet, successful businesses must find ways to extend and connect their existing infrastructures to the billions of mobile devices and M2M technologies that now exist. IBM's new offerings, being rolled out today, will simplify this process drastically."
