Alliances that enable enterprise-class SOA

Vendor collaboration and product interoperability are keys to successful services-based systems. That's why we've formed strong alliances with industry leaders and companies at the forefront of the SOA movement. Here are some of our Technology Partners:

Cisco
AmberPoint’s comprehensive SOA management capabilities integrate seamlessly with Cisco’s Application Control Engine (ACE) XML Gateway appliance. This enables our shared customers to meet the new requirements that arise as loosely coupled applications assume important new roles in their enterprise IT systems. The integration fortifies the Cisco Service-Oriented Network Architecture (SONA) strategy and vision by helping to meet requirements for enterprise SOA network infrastructure availability and performance. AmberPoint is a Partner in the Cisco Technology Developer Program.

iWay Software
"SOA should enable integration and reuse across multiple platforms and applications. Unfortunately, the complexity of their environments keeps many organizations from the component reuse they’d hoped for. Our joint technology offering solves that problem by combining the interoperability needed to marshal all the necessary resources with the management needed to govern them. After an extensive review of different approaches, we selected AmberPoint as our runtime governance solution."
