The Websphere Process Server (WPS) Lead Developer role is critical to successfully complete integration projects especially large projects like iLearn.

Without this specialized expertise, integration projects would take significantly longer because application teams would have to spend additional time developing their connection and transformation components. As more and more ESB projects complete, workflow components developed by Websphere Process Server (WPS) Developers for the ESB will save the DOE significant costs in development effort.
