As discussed in this document, Business Component Architecture (BCA) deployed on an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) now offers a proven second alternative that protects current investments and offers a migratory path to the next generation of solutions (low risk/high returns). The unique and sustainable advantages offered by BCA on an ESB include:

• Benefits of a true peer-to-peer infrastructure architecture for distributed data and applications, combined with componentized application composition to drive reuse and ease extensibility
• Proven affordability driven by the adoption of standards
• The drag-and-drop simplicity of using reusable business components to deploy and monitor workflows
• A broad spectrum of developer-friendly benefits such as - remote administration, simplified design, deployment, monitoring and debugging of tasks, unrivaled support for technical issues, and access to third-party services and tools developers
• Industry standards-based with hundreds of adapters and services available from third parties
