Headlines
ObjectWeb Open-Source Enterprise Service Bus Initiative is Gaining Industry
Attention
* ObjectWeb ESB Initiative is a market-driven process intended to
let commercial vendors build offerings relating to ESB and based
on open-source software. Its goal is to help the open-source
middleware ecosystem grow and, in return, to leverage the
ecosystem growth to bring new opportunities to users and vendors.
These latter may complement open-source commodity components with
their own commercial added-value offering, under the form of
software or professional services.
* ObjectWeb Chairman Jean-Pierre Laisné: "[The concept of ESB] is
still in its early years with a variety of visions and some
standards still to be defined. Our goal is not to design a single
ObjectWeb ESB. Our goal is to be the focal point where ESB
solutions based on open-source software are designed in a
professional fashion, driven by real world user needs."
