It's always nice to be part of a project that goes live. But even more when news agencies making attention on it. This time the Dutch KPN telecommunication provider, implemented successfully a large project based Oracle Application Integration Architecture (Oracle AIA).
Read the full article on CNN.
Some background (dutch)

This is great. I'am doing in depth research for AIA. I think KPN is the first dutch company implementing AIA. Did they implement a at-the-shelf PIP or created a new one? Which PIP did they implement?
Can we share our and your experiences on this?
The KPN implemented the off-the-shelf PIP. In this case it was the Telco PIP.
The Power of AIA, is that all issues for integration are already build and/or documented. For example; the application framework, exception handling, cross reference tables, meta-model for XML messaging, technical design, extended business functions, complete implemented business flows from Siebel to Portal/BRM.
So a complete Application Integration Framework. If you want more information, or even download the AIA stuff go to:

Marc - I have question, would appreciate if you adderess this.
My communication customer has Oracle CRM 11i, EBusiness Suite, SAP for Finance, around 70-80 billing systems and home grown provisioning systems across geography and all are connected using TIBCO middleware and XML messaging. They want to explore AIA communication PIPs and find out how it is going to create value to their existing application eco-system, besides AIA's open standard based approach and pre-built PIPs and framework what exactly the value customer will get by adopting AIA?
As you know it is not possible for them to Switch OFF their existing landscape and Switch ON Oracle AIA over night, how tactically AIA is going to help them? What are the drivers for KPN to embrace AIA?
Thanks..Suman
The goal for KPN, was the out-of-the-box integration between Siebel and their BRM system. This Teclco PIP fits almost in their business process, a few customization were done to extend the existing business flow of AIA.
BTW: you can always switch-off integration-points. Oracle FMW & AIA will help you with that, that you do not loose messages. If they really can not switch it off, you should implement Oracle FMW / AIA along with the existing interfaces, implement an interfaces, than switch-off the old one, and implement the next one.
My understanding is AIA framework and Order-to-Bill PIP requires Oracle Fusion Middleware. How does it work with another BPM engine such as Tibco or WebMethods?
AIA runs on top of the Oracle SOA Suite. To use AIA, you use AIA foundation or an specific AIA PIP. The AIA PIP is implemented on top of the AIA Foundation.
The PIP is the business fow implementation for a specific industry and business case.
You are able to extend / customize the AIA PIP or build new services with the AIA foundation. You are able to connect to any system; including Tiboc and WebMethods.
But you can not comapre AIA-PIP with TIbco / WB. These are technology products, AIA is business solution.
Hi,
The current setup what we have for deployment is a single build script which deploys ESB's and BPEL to the server. But this build script uses obant.bat for compiling,deploying the BPEL's and ant.bat for publishing the services in BPEL on the other hand ant.bat is used for compiling.deploying,publishing services for ESb's. My question is can i use ant.bat for publishing services in BPELs as well? Can you please help me on this if i need to do some configuration to achieve this?
