Software AG Joins Microsoft in Interop Vendor Alliance
The alliance is commmitted to connecting people, data and
diverse systems
Darmstadt, Germany, 14.11.2006 - Software AG has joined
the new Interop Vendor Alliance, announced today by Microsoft, as a
founding member. The alliance is committed to delivering
interoperability to its customers and was established to connect
people, data and diverse systems. Member companies are
working collaboratively to ensure better interoperability across
the industry.
Joining the Interop Vendor Alliance allows Software AG to
enhance its commit-ment to openness and interoperability, a
commitment required by enterprises that are adopting services
oriented architecture (SOA). Software AG and Mi-crosoft,
through the Interop Vendor Alliance, are committed to creating
trans-parency between CentraSite and the Microsoft platform.
Earlier this year, Software AG and Fujitsu jointly announced the
formation of the CentraSite Community, a rapidly growing coalition
of partners committed to delivering on the promise of SOA
interoperability and reuse. The aim of the community is to help
enterprises to break down legacy, stove-pipe applications into
modular components that can be leveraged across different business
lines and units.
"The Interop Vendor Alliance offers a great way for Software AG
to continue to add value to our customers while we expand our
ecosystem," said Dr. Stefan Ried, Vice President of Product
Management at Software AG. "The crossvision suite in general,
and CentraSite in particular, enables re-use of any services
exposed from business logic located virtually anywhere."
"We are excited to have Software AG in the Interop Vendor
Alliance," said Simon Brown, Vice President of DPE EMEA for
Microsoft. "The Alliance will bring a new level of efficiency
for developers, allowing them access to a wide range of services
providers."
