Technical workshop will demonstrate how organizations can transform their integration process across mobile apps, legacy systems, and cloud services using the WSO2 platform Mountain View, CA – July 23, 2014 – In the era of the connected business, enterprises increasingly rely on the convergence of APIs, integration, and service-oriented architecture (SOA). RESTful APIs connect internal and external business participants; integration bridges silos; and SOA encourages organizations to build maintainable solutions. WSO2 will present a half-day workshop to help integration developers and IT architects can take advantage of this convergence to transform their integration process. The “API, Integration, and SOA Convergence” workshop will be held on Thursday, July 31, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. in Zurich, Switzerland. For more information, visit http://wso2.com/events/workshops/2014-july-zurich-api-integration-and-soa-convergence-workshop. Transforming the Integration Process The workshop will demonstrate how organizations can transform their integration process by rapidly implementing a RESTful design, enforcing governance policies, safely scaling solutions, orchestrating complex interaction sequences, and reusing assets. Leading the workshop will be Isabelle Mauny, WSO2 vice president of product management. Isabelle will first discuss why mobile, cloud services, and big data insights are transforming integration practices. She then will review patterns and best practices for increasing adoption, speeding delivery, and creating maintainable solutions. Additionally, Isabelle will explain how to realize a reference architecture for API, integration and SOA. Workshop demonstrations will include: • Building RESTful APIs with WSO2 Application Server and WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (WSO2 ESB). • Sharing master data with WSO2 Data Services Server. • Mediating, transforming and routing messages with WSO2 ESB. • Encouraging mobile interactions with WSO2 API Manager. • Monitoring RESTful APIs, service usage and adoption with WSO2 API Manager, WSO2 ESB toolkits, and WSO2 Business Activity Monitor.

WSO2 director of API architecture will lead free webinar-based training on July 30, exploring how managed APIs can enable better management and monitoring of IoT devices Mountain View, CA – July 17, 2014 – For the capabilities of Internet of Things (IoT) devices to be useful, there needs to be a programmatic way of accessing these capabilities. The fifth WSO2 Summer School class of 2014 will examine how using a managed API provides a programmer-friendly approach for controlling and monitoring an IoT device. The interactive online class, “API Management in the Context of IoT,” will be led by WSO2 Director of API Architecture Sumedha Rubasinghe. It is being offered at no cost as a part of the WSO2 Summer School 2014 program. The session will be held on Wednesday, July 30, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Pacific. To attend the class, register at http://wso2.com/library/webinars/2014/07/api-management-in-the-context-of-iot. Managed APIs for the Internet of Things The class will examine how APIs are fundamental building blocks for enabling the Internet of Things, the problems created by an inefficient API, and how taking a managed API approach provides better control and monitoring. Among the topics covered will be how managed APIs can be used for: • Throttling to protect a device from being exposed to more traffic than it has the capabilities to handle, a common risk when developers use a naked API. • Exposing statistics about how a device is being accessed to gain better insight into usage and performance. • Managing subscriptions, a key challenge for handling large volumes of devices. For architects and developers who want to learn more about IoT best practices, WSO2 has published a white paper, “A Reference Architecture for the Internet of Things.” The paper is designed to provide an effective starting point for addressing the major requirements of IoT projects and systems.

White paper by WSO2’s VP of solutions architecture discusses the best practices and technologies for integrating people and processes via a connected business Mountain View, CA – July 15, 2014 – Enterprises today need to step away from traditional ways of engaging with customers and suppliers and instead apply new approaches to integrating processes and information that ensure a richer user experience. A new white paper from WSO2 discusses how an enterprise can improve customer and partner relationships—and become more agile and seize new revenue opportunities in the process—by building a connected business. Connecting all the Components of a Business The white paper, “Convert Your Enterprise to a Connected Business,” was written by WSO2 Vice President of Solutions Architecture Asanka Abeysinghe. It begins by defining a connected business where an enterprise increases its value proposition by focusing on its areas of expertise and leveraging external services in order to make the user’s experience more productive. The paper then discusses critical challenges enterprises face in enabling a connected business, such as complex business requirements and quicker release cycles. Next, the paper explains how to transform an organization into a connected business with a seven-step approach, which starts off by converting business functions to services and then turning those into APIs. The paper also explores how to connect all the components of a business using WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (WSO2 ESB) as a connectivity layer in the system, along with other WSO2 products. Additionally, it provides real-life examples of how enterprises are deploying WSO2 ESB, WSO2 Identity Server, and WSO2 Business Activity Monitor to enable a connected business. The paper goes on to explain how the WSO2 cloud stack can be used to create and deploy applications in a cloud-native environment. It then concludes by discussing the changes required to become a connected business. The white paper can be downloaded at http://wso2.com/whitepapers/convert-your-enterprise-to-a-connected-business.
