5Alcatel-Lucent | OmniAccess 8550 Web Services Gateway
Many large organizations struggle with intensively
manual business processes that must meet increased
security requirements from information privacy
legislation. As these organizations transition from
manual to automated business processes, they will
increase the amount of sensitive information stored
in IT systems both within their organization and
with customers and partners. As a result, these
organizations are looking for systems to automate
their business processes while ensuring information
security compliance requirements are met.
However, standing in the way of these goals are
the legacy information systems, such as human
resources, enterprise resource management (ERP),
customer relationship management (CRM), and
finance, and the integration of disparate corporate,
branch office, and partner systems, each of which
implements data security differently.
THE GOAL: SECURE BUSINESS PROCESS AUTOMATION
SOA has been essential in creating loosely coupled
Information Systems and reusable services while Web
services have been instrumental in the proliferation
of business process automation. Although these
technologies take corporations closer to their goal,
there is still one more step: the incorporation of
security and compliance in business process automation.

THE SOLUTION: WEB SERVICES DEPLO ED USING A SECURE AND COMPLIANT INFRASTRUCTURE
Anetwork-embedded secure and compliant SOA with a security and compliance infrastructure is a new
approach that provides the corporate-wide compliance required for scalable business process automation.
This compliance infrastructure is application-independent, enabling a consistent information access policy
for all users. It also ensures that business process policies are consistently enforced at run time across
the corporation, its satellite offices and its business partners. The ability to safely provide sensitive data
when and where it is needed is a significant competitive advantage because it has the potential to increase
productivity and will significantly reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) for information systems.
