"The DSA needed to deliver both new business processes as well as migrate to a new platform as a result of legacy and obsolescence. We knew a strategy encompassing SOA to enable the required enterprise integration was the way forward, and that management capabilities would be critical to this effort. After a rigorous evaluation of SOA management providers, we selected AmberPoint for its architectural advantages and its comprehensive approach to governance. We adopted them as our SOA management platform of choice."

"We found that AmberPoint's capabilities were superior. AmberPoint's non-invasive approach is ideal for our customers, who want to avoid additional coding and cumbersome implementations. And because most of our customers run their information systems on a variety of platforms, AmberPoint's ability to run natively on both Java and .NET weighed heavily in our decision."

"AmberPoint is the industry market leader. Its policy-based runtime governance gives us the ability to manage complexity, which is ever increasing in the pensions market. They also had extremely good integration with Microsoft, which is important to us, as we made the decision to standardise on Microsoft internally including Microsoft .NET 2.0. Using AmberPoint, we are able to extend our SOA monitoring and management capabilities to MOM. Our project is one of the world’s first production SOA deployments based on Microsoft .NET 2.0 so the close working relationship at the engineering level between AmberPoint and Microsoft was extremely important to us. AmberPoint is now a strategic part of our Microsoft roadmap."
