Leading SOA vendors join forces
May 1, 2006 Organized by Infravio, last week, many of the leading SOA vendors joined forces in announcing their commitment and participation for SOA Link, an end-to-end SOA Governance Interoperability Initiative. The purpose is to bring together multiple vendors with products for SOA Governance to mutually interoperate. Whether supplying a policy repository and authoring system, run time enforcement system, monitoring at runtime or business process capability, these systems will be delivered as interoperable by multiple vendors and Web services technologies. The 16 founding members of SOA Link include AmberPoint, Composite Software, Forum Systems, Infravio, Intalio, IONA, JBoss, Layer 7 Technologies, LogicBlaze, NetIQ, Parasoft, Reactivity, SOA Software, SymphonySoft, webMethods and WSO2. "“This group represents some of the best pure-play SOA vendors in the industry,” said Miko Matsumura, vice president of marketing for Infravio.  “Even as WS-Policy is contributed to W3C, best-of-breed vendors realize that customer requirements for governance currently exceeds the reach of monolithic stack vendors or existing standards. The enthusiasm and strong support expressed for a Governance Interoperability Initiative demonstrates this pent-up customer demand.” "Participants benefit by having the ability to publish services and associated policy to a system of record in a standardized way, and to be alerted to changes when they happen. Essentially, Governance Interoperability fosters the creation of a complete solution for SOA Governance and control. SOA Link does not mandate a single API for interoperability. On the contrary, it is a public statement by partnered vendors that they will provide interoperable solutions to their customers. A customer buying SOA Link solutions can be assured that these products will work together to solve the problem of end-to-end SOA Lifecycle Governance. All partners that participate in the program will be listed on a Website that will host descriptions of successful integrations between products and provide a place where customers can verify working integrations. By participating, vendors promise to provide their customers with solutions that interoperate with other SOA Link vendors. Under the initiative, participants will jointly develop integration at the data, control and UI level between partner products. Members have also agreed to public participation in the SOA Link initiative and to participate in a technical advisory group for shared learning and continued development.
