SOA Projects

I could have named this post as SOA entry points, basically I wanted to list down the different flavors of SOA projects, which also indicate the different SOA Entry points.

SOA Entry points and the product line -

1.Process Automation - BPA / BPM / BPEL / ESB / Rules / Workflow
2.EAI - BPEL / ESB / AIA
3.B2B - B2B / BPEL / ESB
4.Process Portal - Portal / BPEL / ESB / Rules / Workflow
5.MDM - BPEL / ESB / MDM
6.BAM - BAM / BPEL
7.GOV - OER / OSR / BPEL / AIA
8.Data Services - ODI / OSB / BPEL
9.Appgrid/XTP - Weblogic / Coherence / BPEL


Looks like BPEL is the common thread, however with the other product mix the Solution Offering gets very unique and different. The other product OSB can be used in many of these projects. So while doing SOA projects, one should keep cognizance of the kind-of SOA project it is.
