Executive Summary
"US Coast Guard, America's guardian of maritime economy, decided to implement an enterprise architecture solution to fully connect their business applications and information architecture. They wanted to build an event-driven, document-based integration infrastructure which is compliant with their architecture. US Coast Guard evaluated more than a dozen vendors on numerous critical criteria including overall cost, installation, maintenance, tool sets, debugging, administering applications, feature support and performance metrics on proof-of-concept, and finally selected Fiorano Platform to power their SOA initiative.
