It a recent white paper, Hurwitz & Associates outlines how Systinet Registry provides increased SOA visibility, governance, and service lifecycle management. The company conducted in-depth interviews with Systinet users, revealing impressive ROI realized from SOA implementation. The report details how the Systinet Registry simplifies the effort involved in accessing multiple data repositories, handling various naming conventions, and providing an efficient way to access and user services.

The report goes on to explain how the software's standards-based interoperability between heterogeneous platforms eliminates much of the work and effort that previously required additional coding and integration efforts. Hurwitz partners Marcia Kaufman and Rikki Kirzner noted, "Systinet's Governance Interoperability Framework is designed to simplify the governance of SOA by providing a standard set of specifications to bi-directionally exchange metadata between SOA infrastructure vendors."

"As an early entrant to the Web services market, it is very rewarding to earn the confidence of industry professionals. The positive InfoWorld review and the impressive Hurwitz report are further validation both of the importance of SOA registries and of our distinctive technology platform," said Thomas Erikson, CEO at Systinet.
