ATLANTA – March 7, 2006 – GT Software, a leading provider of SOA development solutions that leverage mainframe resources, today announced integration with Systinet Registry, the leading business service registry from Systinet, a division of Mercury Interactive Corporation. This integration provides organizations with a standard approach for building, deploying and governing mainframe-based services within a SOA. Using the combined products, organizations can now easily and cost-effectively bring their mainframe computing assets into service-oriented architectures (SOA).
The GT Software Ivory® Service Architect software enables organizations to rapidly extend their applications through service-oriented architectures, while using their existing mainframe hardware, applications, data and development skills. Systinet provides a complete suite of governance and lifecycle management products for creating a single "system of record" for SOA and establishing the visibility, control, quality and trust critical to SOA success. GT Software Ivory Service Architect now interoperates with Systinet Registry, facilitating the exchange of SOA business service information and providing a simple and standards-based way to discover and publish reusable business services created using the GT Software Ivory® Service Architect.
"Integration with Systinet Registry represents another key step in building out the ecosystem for SOA," said Rob Morris, senior vice president of marketing and strategy at GT Software. "Customers require integration among their SOA development products and that is exactly what GT Software and Systinet deliver."
"SOA should not be a rip and replace strategy. Enabling organizations to use their existing mainframe assets is important to achieving the full value from SOA initiatives," said, Jake Sorofman, VP of Product Marketing for Systinet, a division of Mercury Interactive Corporation. "This integration will enable mainframe-based services to be automatically entered into the registry, ensuring they are easily discovered and consistently managed."
GT Software is a Systinet partner and the integration of the two technologies will be demonstrated March 17 at a seminar in Washington, D.C. Also, an online demonstration is available as part of a joint webinar. Details on both can be found at http://www.gtsoftware.com/news/in-the-news.
