ESI Group, a leading supplier of simulation software for prototyping and manufacturing processes, announces its acceptance to the IBM SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) Specialty after successfully completing IBM's rigorous SOA technical and business requirements. With this achievement ESI Group's VisualDSS application integrates with the IBM software and strategy for SOA.
"SOA is an increasingly important business requirement for organizations because of the business flexibility it enables," says Sandy Carter, vice president of IBM SOA and WebSphere. "ESI Group's commitment to SOA provides its customers with a powerful way to reduce development costs by rapidly deploying process simulation applications across their manufacturing organization."
ESI Group's VisualDSS application is an open, multi-domain environment that enables companies to build and manage simulation models for multi-domain usage, to automate processes and workflow, to manage simulation content and data, and to provide knowledge-based decision support and automated reporting. Leveraging IBM's software and strategy for SOA allows VisualDSS to link to various data sources and applications, while sharing simulation data throughout the complete engineering business processes.
"With IBM's software and strategy for SOA as a foundation, VisualDSS can easily integrate into the corporate information technology backbone of our customers, which allows quick and standardized deployment throughout the enterprise. Our acceptance into the SOA Specialty illustrates our commitment to working with IBM for SOA," says Vincent Chaillou, President Product Operations and COO of ESI Group.
