GT Software accepted to IBM SOA Specialty

Johannesburg, 03 May 2007

Blue Turtle Technologies, local representative of GT Software, a provider of rapid SOA development solutions that leverage mainframe resources, announced acceptance of GT Software to IBM SOA Specialty, after successfully completing IBM's rigorous SOA technical and business requirements.

With this achievement, GT Software's Ivory Service Architect integrates with the IBM SOA Foundation, a single, integrated platform that combines the industry's top application server and integration capabilities.

With GT Software's Ivory Service Architect, developers can quickly and easily create and publish Web services, developing right-sized composite business services from existing mainframe assets with little or no training, and no consulting required.

The solution then provides a high-performance runtime engine for executing the deployed business services.

The centrepiece of the company's mainframe solution, GT Software's Ivory Service Architect consists of Ivory Studio, a graphical modelling environment; and Ivory Server, a high performance SOAP processor with runtime service orchestration and WSDL repository. Underscoring GT Software's commitment to SOA, Ivory Service Architect allows the mainframe to become an active participant in an SOA.

Geoff Hardwick of Blue Turtle said: "GT Software's commitment to SOA provides our customers with a powerful way to create Web services quickly and easily, gaining the benefits of Web services, without the complexity of coding or re-writing applications.

"Support for SOA is an essential ingredient in both modernising legacy applications and developing new Web services," continued Hardwick. "Becoming part of the IBM business partner ecosystem helps call attention to both the importance of service-oriented applications to today's enterprises, and to GT's solutions."
