Original Press Release:



XAWARE Joins IBM ECLIPSE and DB2 VIPER Early Partner Community



COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado - March 14, 2006 - XAware, Inc., an enterprise software company specializing in Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) solutions, announced that it is working with IBM on its next generation SOA information management technologies. XAware was recently optimized for insurance by IBM.

XAware, an IBM partner specializing in complex XML and SOA solutions has recently joined the IBM DB2 Viper early partner program and announced that its applications will be optimized for the next version of DB2 - code-named "Viper."

These optimizations are part of XAware's release of its complex XML and SOA business Service XCelerators (bSX) for insurance, and its ability to continue developing leading-edge, insurance-focused SOA enterprise technology. The XAware bSX are comprised of pre-configured, appreciable SOA assets optimized by vertical industry. Building on this, XAware will also be sponsoring a panel, "SOA and the Future of the Collaborative Enterprise", at IBM's PartnerWorld conference in Las Vegas.

"We are thrilled to be working with IBM on these projects," says Tim Harvey, CEO of XAware. "Our unique solution will benefit companies on a global level. With a vision aligned with IBM's goals, this partnership is a logical and very beneficial step for XAware."

XA-Suite Release 4
XAware announces the release of XA-Suite 4. XA-Suite 4 includes the industry leading design tool XA-Designer, an Eclipse Ready(TM) plug-in. This new version also packages XAware applications into portable and deployable archive (xar) files, and includes support for ACORD's ID and IDREF attributes. Other features include an updated copybook BizComponent, SAP BizComponent and many wizard-driven processes. This technology enhances the XAware Business Services XCelerators (bSX) which are pre-packaged solutions for common industry integrations for federating and enriching data in highly re-usable business services. XA-Suite 4 will be available Q2 2006.

IBM's Eclipse Platform is the foundation for constructing and running integrated end-to-end software development tools, and was developed for building integrated development environments (IDEs). The open-source platform consists of software components that allow vendors to construct solutions that plug in to integrated software workbenches.

XAware will be demonstrating its new XA-Suite 4 at pedestal #346 at PartnerWorld. More information is available at www.xaware.com.

DB2 Viper
XAware's complex XML SOA Services Factory and IBM DB2 Viper will provide a platform for rapid development and deployment of agile SOA solutions. Complex XML is driving SOA - but the process of coding, decomposing and storing complex XML data can lead to longer timelines and higher costs for customers. XAware and IBM DB2 Viper create an end-to-end solution that automates much of the work typically associated with managing complex XML formats (such as ACORD XML).

XAware has the ability to handle real-world complexity in a self-contained, and therefore more manageable, XML business service. Building SOA in a declarative executable XML method combined with DB2 Viper reduces complexity and offers a company greater agility.

"The upcoming release of DB2 Viper will offer leading-edge technology for storing, managing and searching XML data in a secure, highly scalable environment," says Tim Harvey, CEO of XAware. "The new multi-structure hybrid architecture offered by DB2 combines the best of relational database management technology with the best of XML data management."

"DB2 Viper adds management of XML data in its native structure to DB2's existing relational data management capability helping clients manage and access data across an SOA with unprecedented flexibility and speed," says Bernie Spang, director, IBM data servers. "The combination of XAware and DB2 Viper will help our customers deploy SOA solutions that take full advantage of XML's often-overlooked business insight value."

PartnerWorld Executive Panel
In addition to having a pedestal at the upcoming IBM PartnerWorld conference, XAware will be sponsoring a panel entitled "SOA and the Future of the Collaborative Enterprise". The panel, featuring executive-level thought leaders, will stress the importance of choosing world-class partners who have demonstrated ability to lead the industry, and the value of partnering with top-tier VCs and startups. Members of the panel include Irving Wladawsky-Berger, vice president of technical strategy and innovation for IBM; Sandy Carter, IBM's vice president of WebSphere marketing, strategy and channels; Tim Connor, partner with Sequel Ventures and Tim Harvey, CEO of XAware. The panel will be moderated by John Hagel III, author and former consultant for McKinsey.

The session will be held on Tuesday, March 14, 2006, from 12:30pm to 1:45pm. More information about PartnerWorld is available at http://www.ibm.com/partnerworld/.
