WebLayers Center is an enterprise Policy Infrastructure for SOA Governance. WebLayers Center is the only solution to allow enterprises to define, enforce, and audit policies throughout the lifecycle of a Service Oriented Architecture.
Policy Definition & Management: WebLayers Center has a complete SOA policy platform that enables the creation, configuration, and management of Policies. Policies can be technical, business or regulatory in nature. Policies can also be at a corporate, divisional or departmental level with multiple stakeholders. But while the physical policies may be stored in different geographies, it is all managed in one logical WebLayers system.
Policies can be written in a variety of industry-standard dialects and authored collaboratively with stakeholders across the globe. Policies can be rapidly defined using a wizard-driven interface.
Best Practices Policy Library: The WebLayers extensive SOA Policy Library jump-starts the SOA learning process that is critical to any enterprise. The SOA Policy Library contains a set of best practices derived from our experience working with Fortune 500 companies on their SOA implementations as well as industry consortia recommendations and standards defined by the W3C and WS-I.
Continuous Enforcement Across the Lifecycle: WebLayers Governors are set of non-invasive enforcement agents that transparently examine and enforce compliance. WebLayers Governors are deployed across all layers of the infrastructure including development tools, registries, repositories, development processes, and applications to support the entire life cycle of SOA Governance.
Policies are also enforced at the content level to ensure all major artifact and document types are in compliance.
Auditing and Reporting: The WebLayers Center management interface enables Business and IT stakeholders to have real-time visibility into their enterprise SOA deployment and operational status. These include Management Dashboards with a comprehensive set of drill-down reports to provide IT stakeholders with conformance statistics, and impact analysis in both summary and detailed perspectives.
