PIP - Phoenix in Paradise :-)

We have heard of ebusiness accelerators, Universal Application Networks and various other forms of pre-packged business flows in the past. So, what is new about AIA/PIP? Is it just another marketing hype from Oracle? Let's find out

1) Oracle AIA comes in 3 different flavors

• Direct integrations
• Packaged PIPs
• Foundation Pack

Which means customers are not necessarily forced to buy the business process flow as-is but can built their own business process flows using the Foundation Pack much quicker and faster

2) Oracle AIA is built using open and non-proprietary standards unlike the predecessors & competitors. Uses best practices and industry standards as applicable, provides a pre-built business object and service library, completely decoupled and application independent

3) Oracle AIA leverages the SOA suite there by providing breadth and depth to business process development/management, messaging, connectors and service governance through policy enforcement.

4) Oracle AIA provides easily extensible framework that allows customizations of the artifacts provided by Oracle like EBO, EBS and routing rules.

Considering the above AIA/PIP is definitely is not "old wine in new bottle".

Its probably PIP (Phoenix In Paradise - Cocktail of Vodka, Cranberry)!
