Financial messaging, especially when built upon industry standards, can in fact form a foundation platform for the development of a payments or capital markets framework where integration technology, data transformation, and workflow management are used to orchestrate transaction flows among applications and clearing systems.
The Financial Messaging Service Bus takes BizTalk Server orchestrations, abstracting and bundling them as reusable services that can be configured at implementation time.
In addition to messaging, some commonly used processes are required for transaction processing; for example: validation, routing, exception management and repair. By developing these processes as reusable services, the message infrastructure becomes more than an integration framework, but takes on the nature of a bus architecture where the lifecycle of a transaction can be mapped, calling the appropriate services as necessary.
This is the essence of the Financial Messaging Service Bus: taking BizTalk Server orchestrations, abstracting and bundling them as reusable services that can be configured at implementation time. In addition, such services can be exposed to Microsoft partner or bank applications to leverage the preconfigured processing of the bus components, therefore enabling enhanced client value.
The Financial Messaging Service Bus is a financial services industry IP implementation of Microsoft's Enterprise Service Bus Toolkit 2.0, based on BizTalk Server 2009 and BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT.
