Borland Software Corporation, a leading provider of e-business platform solutions, and Sonic Software, a leader in e-business messaging (EBM) software and services, today announced an agreement to deliver best-in-class messaging functionality for Borland customers.
Borland will integrate SonicMQ 3.5, the industry-leading Java Messaging Service (JMS), with the next release of Borland AppServer, a leading application server that supports a mixed Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) and CORBA framework. Additionally, Sonic MQ Developer Edition integrated with Borland AppServer is included with Borland JBuilder Enterprise Edition, the leading Java development environment.
Messaging is an essential component of any e-business platform.

This integrated environment will provide a seamless user experience, delivering business-critical data across incompatible systems and reducing the complexity of building mission-critical e-business applications.

"The combination of SonicMQ and Borland`s award-winning AppServer offers customers a clear path to support the forthcoming J2EE standard, and a secure, reliable way to exchange business-critical information between enterprise applications."
"With SonicMQ we get more than just JMS, we get Sun certified J2EE compatibility that will scale to meet the real-world transactional needs of our customers," said Manoli Rodokanakis, Country Manager for Borland Southern Africa.
