At the Gartner Application Integration summit in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Software AG unveiled its new Business Integration Portfolio to the European public.
The Business Integration Portfolio is targeted at organisations that need a real-time single view of strategic mission-critical information currently locked in existing applications and systems.
The Software AG Business Integration portfolio includes:
1. Enterprise Legacy Integrator: It unlocks existing data and logic currently stored in mainframe and other legacy systems and makes it available as Web services. It therefore optimises existing investments, reducing complexity and costs. More than 140 adapters are available for popular enterprise applications such as those from SAP, Oracle and Siebel.
2. Enterprise Service Integrator: It is an enterprise service bus (ESB) that uses an XML messaging system to connect information and processes from many applications. It transforms the data to XML-based formats, thereby enabling rapid and flexible data access. Enterprise Service Integration can manage hundreds of business services simultaneously.
3. Enterprise Information Integrator: It is a virtual database which allows organisations to query multiple systems concurrently. It leverages metadata and establishes a gateway to deliver a single view of information residing in these systems. Information Integrator also enables the organisation to analyse all information across the enterprise in real-time.
The Business Integration Portfolio is based on the open standards XML, SOAP and WSDL and includes Software AG's products Tamino XML Server, EntireX XML Mediator and EntireX Communicator.
The Business Integration Portfolio is a further development of the integration product line of Europe's largest systems software provider. The company has built the integration portfolio on its experience with over 1 000 integration customers. The Business Integration Portfolio now exceeds the market's demand for real-time information access through advanced Web services technology.
"By making XML and Web services the standard for integrating multiple back-office systems, organisations are able to improve customer service and increase employee productivity through the agile reuse of existing data," said Jonathan Airey, vice-president of XML Business Integration for Software AG.
