What is SOA?

Service Oriented Architecture is a principle that allows loosely coupled systems to communicate via standard web technologies. The main unit in SOA is the Service - This is an object that encapsulates an area of functionality. These services expose there functionality via a well defined interface (usually via a WSDL file). Consumers of this service use this interface definition and a standard communications protocol (usually SOAP-XML) to invoke the required functionality.
SOA's goal is to allow the building of functionality rich and powerful applications, promoting interoperability, reuse with a low integration overhead.

What is OpenSOA?

The OpenScape UC Application consists of a number of distinct SOA services each encapsulating a UC feature area (such as presence, contact management, etc). These services are hosted within the Unify OpenSOA framework. OpenSOA uses Web Service technology to realize the principles of the SOA architecture.

Picture of logical layers to be inserted

Each service in the OpenSOA framework has its own defined interface and is accessible from any programming language via SOAP/XML. This collection of OpenSOA service interfaces forms the OpenSOA SDK. An important point to make here is that the SDK allows direct access to ALL the OpenSOA services - the SDK is not a watered down offering, we allow you to have access to same OpenSOA service as we do when building our own clients. This allows you to build powerful and feature rich integrations by combing and blending the functionality of the wide range of services offered.

What services are offered?

Below is an Overview of what services are offered (group by feature group). Click on each feature group for example of what UC features are offered. (Low level API documentation of every service and method is available),

For each OpenSOA service a WSDL file is provided.

Due to the complexities and ‘stateful’ nature of call modeling as well as the WSDL file we also provide a com library (the BCOM API) to allow access to our Call control (BCOM) service.

Getting Started

Te OpenSOA SDK has a wide range tools, documentation and training to help you get started as an OpenSOA developer. We offer both on-site and cloud hosted development environments. In order to support you every step of the way we will soon be announcing the availability of the OpenDeveloper Program - watch this space!
