Business Wire, Sept 26, 2005

BURLINGTON, Mass. -- Systinet, a leading software provider of the foundation for service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance and lifecycle management, today announced a strategic agreement with Oracle to embed Systinet's SOA registry with Oracle(R) Application Server 10g Release 3, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware. The agreement will provide customers with a simple, standards-based foundation for service discovery, service governance and service lifecycle management across the enterprise. Systinet is a Certified Partner in the Oracle PartnerNetwork.

"Organizations are already addressing the complexity and inflexibility of their IT environment with SOAs," said Thomas Kurian, senior vice president of Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle. "Registries are a key element of SOA governance and lifecycle management. Our partnership with Systinet will help us deliver a complete SOA registry to our customers."

Oracle Fusion Middleware is a portfolio of standards-based and customer-proven software products that enable customers to protect, extend and evolve their existing IT investments. Based on the widely adopted UDDI standard, Systinet Registry captures detailed service description and usage information into a centrally managed, reliable, searchable location. It allows for the describing, discovering, publishing, and invoking of SOA business services, acting as a "System-of-Record" for all information pertaining to an SOA. By integrating the Systinet Registry with Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3, users will be able to gain control of their SOA deployment and realize benefits such as agility where IT and business processes work together seamlessly and in real-time. Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 is scheduled to be generally available by the end of fiscal year 2006.

"A standards-based registry is an essential component of any SOA, and this agreement further validates Systinet's reputation as the de facto leader in SOA registry technology," said Tom Erickson, CEO, Systinet. "We're very pleased to have Oracle select us as their partner for SOA governance and service lifecycle management, and are confident we will help customers to realize the benefits of implementing an SOA."
