Partners Show Strong Support for SOA-Enhanced Composite Information Server


New Release of Composite Software's Flagship Data Services Product Enables Partners, Customers to Leverage Data from Existing Systems While Maintaining the Stability of the IT Environment

SAN MATEO, Calif. - October 23, 2006 - Composite Software, Inc., the leader in SOA Data Services- today announced strong support from leading implementation firms and SOA vendors for its next-generation Composite Information Server (CIS) as the most practical approach for enterprises deploying an SOA. Partners and end customers can build applications faster without worrying about the data's location and complexity. Composite's easy-to-use tools and pre-built data services for leading packaged applications give partners a leg up in SOA implementations by delivering existing data to new applications more easily.

"Our implementation partners are excited about our newest release because our technology allows them to engage customers at any stage of SOA project implementation, knowing that they can make a positive and lasting impact," said David Besemer, CTO at Composite Software. "Software vendors building solutions with our technology enjoy the fact that the end product is fully SOA compatible."

Composite's technology enables enterprises and their system integrators to tackle SOA implementations in smaller projects. Teams can quickly and easily create data services' "building blocks" that can be deployed across multiple applications. Over time, as more services are completed, these combine to provide a complete SOA framework. This practical approach to SOA implementation-rather than the complex and time-consuming method of changing the entire IT environment all at once-allows enterprises to realize the benefits of SOA sooner and with fewer risks to their existing IT investments.
