iMediate

The wise, not so wise and even the fish in a pond has an opinion about WS mediation. Now the question is who do you think is saying the right thing. If you talk about the sharks, its more ESBish, well, there you go; we are listening to the TIBCOs of the market. It turns BPELish once Oracle takes a bite or pure plumbing if the adapter makers wink; Aqual(ogic)ang if Tull could dig his flute to it, BEAish. Climbing the OSI ladder a bit to the network and why not.

I guess it's all about, the integration Market is fading, the adapters are all done, the DB space is more or less stagnant, the applications servers have done their bit so here I am, eons (AONs) of experience, money in the bank, so who is going to pay my next check!!!

Be hold!! Spot the Jurassic killer and stop there!! Think for a moment and write down on a piece of paper what your company really needs.

Mediation is certainly not a new concept but the difference is in how and what you mediate.
