Workbench - New SOA Governance Product

SOA Software, provider of SOA and Web services management solutions has launched a new SOA governance product called Workbench. The solution is a closed-loop product which integrates UDDIv3 registry technology with a powerful repository and policy management system.

This solution claims to provide organizations with tools to quantifiably enforce their run-time policies, accelerating service reuse and adoption.

According to the vendor, Workbench can also be deployed alongside Service Manager, SOA Software’s SOA management and security product to provide a comprehensive closed-loop governance system. Workbench defines policies that are enforced by the Service Manager run-time security and management systems.

The Manager collects metrics and compliance data that it passes back to Workbench which implements an audit process comparing these metrics and manifests with the original policies to ensure that they are being correctly enforced.
