PolarLake Announces Support for Choreography Description Language (WS-CDL)
Published April 27, 2006 in Press Releases
PolarLake™, a world leader in application and data integration, announced today that its Integration Suite product now offers integrated support for W3C’s Choreography Description Language (CDL), and thus enables the efficient control and monitoring of business processes, increasing operational efficiency and reducing risk. CDL is an XML-based language that describes peer-to-peer collaborations of participants by defining, from a global viewpoint, their observable behavior within integration solutions involving ordered message exchanges that accomplish a common business goal.
Through support for CDL, PolarLake – alongside open source tools such as those from Pi4 Technologies Ltd and products such as those provided by Hattrick Software Ltd - enables the business to define, manage and control business processes with the certainty required for the ever-demanding regulatory environment. The result is improved accountability, exception handling capabilities, performance and business monitoring of all Straight-Through Processing (STP) solutions within the organization. This monitoring capability in particular allows the organization to ensure that all executing events match declared processes. Systems, events or processes that diverge from these expected behaviors can then be identified and rectified as quickly as possible.
