Anexinet Applauds BEA Service Infrastructure Product Strategy
Service Infrastructure Designed to Help Move Customers' Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) Efforts from Pilot to Production
Philadelphia, PA - June 9, 2005 - Anexinet today announced its support for a new Service Infrastructure product strategy introduced by BEA Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: BEAS). Developed to help increase business agility while reducing IT cost and complexity, the Service Infrastructure products from BEA are designed to help companies manage the service-oriented architecture (SOA) lifecycle and swiftly assemble composite applications and processes in heterogeneous environment. BEA Service Infrastructure product family is designed to help companies make the transition from pilot to full enterprise-wide production of their SOA.
SOA is a standards-based approach designed to take the discrete business functions contained in enterprise applications and organizes them into interoperable, standards-based services. These services can be combined and reused in composite applications and processes to meet business needs. Service infrastructure is a new category of enterprise software designed to help enable the successful deployment of SOA in business environments by allowing services to be discovered, secured, managed and assembled into composite applications and processes - regardless of the underlying technology.
"The ability to automate business processes atop unified enterprise applications as well as monitor and manage business-critical transactions across a cohesive platform has become a top priority for businesses today," said John Porter, Practice Director at Anexinet. "Anexinet and BEA share the vision of providing real-time, process-driven integration solutions to help our customers achieve their business objectives."
"Our alliance with Anexinet as a value-added reseller for Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions is part of our company's initiative designed to continually help customers manage SOA based environments and improve business agility and efficiency," said Gail Ennis, vice president of Worldwide Alliances for BEA Systems. "A specialist like Anexinet can add extensive expertise assisting clients in establishing a roadmap for enterprise-wide application deployment built on SOA standards."
Service Infrastructure Can Help Move SOA from Pilot to Production
Customers have gravitated to SOA's modularity and flexibility, which is designed to help them to mix and match IT resources in a "virtual" infrastructure that is integrated while not being locked into a single vendor's IT stack. SOA also reflects a move from thinking about IT in an "application" context to thinking about IT as a "services" delivery business - helping to enable IT departments to create, assemble and deliver new services more quickly for use by employees, customers, partners and suppliers. As a new approach to enterprise IT implementation and application development, SOA can break down business applications and features into "services" - specific pieces of functionality - which can be efficiently built, combined, adapted and reused.
Many customers are already using their application infrastructure software (application servers, integration servers, development tools and portal software) to build and deploy their early SOA projects. As SOA moves from pilot to production, companies have found that they need new infrastructure that is designed to help them to quickly compose, deliver, configure and manage these services. Customers typically encounter this once they have built and deployed more than 50 services, which can result in a "services sprawl" that requires constant integration and can be difficult to scale. They also need new composition tools that work like an "assembly line" for building cars, in addition to traditional coding tools they use for "building car parts." Service infrastructure is a new category of enterprise software designed to help enable businesses compose, configure and reuse technology assets to meet business needs in a more assembly line model.
