Procter & Gamble Implements a SOA Powered By BEA Systems

The SOA Powers a New On-Line Workspace at Procter & Gamble

Mar. 28, 2008 03:00 PM

BEA Systems announced that Procter & Gamble implemented a service-oriented architecture (SOA) powered by BEA technologies.

The SOA powers a new on-line workspace at Procter & Gamble. It has been designed to help improve and support decision making while increasing access to knowledge assets.

The new workspace uses numerous BEA technologies, including BEA AquaLogic User Interaction as the front door into the workspace, BEA AquaLogic Service Bus as the integration and messaging hub of the SOA, BEA AquaLogic Data Service Platform to allow data from a variety of sources to be accessed on demand, BEA AquaLogic Enterprise Security to protect sensitive data and files, and BEA WebLogic Server, which provides the foundation for many essential applications.

“Our vision is a fundamental transformation of the way we operate: using innovative technologies to help us work smarter, faster and more efficiently,” said Filippo Passerini, CIO and Global Services Officer at Procter & Gamble. “BEA is an important contributor to that vision.”

The new workstation has initially been rolled out to 2,000 users. Procter & Gamble is now targeting an additional 30,000 users.
