Mindreef inks deal with HR-XML consortium

September 20, 2006

Mindreef Inc., which helps organizations drive quality, trust and reuse into their SOA (service-oriented architecture) deployments, announces that it is partnering with the HR-XML Consortium. The move will accelerate Web services industry standards for interoperability.

The HR-XML Consortium is a global, non-profit consortium dedicated to the development and promotion of a standard suite of XML specifications to enable e-business and the automation of human resources (HR) related data exchanges.

The current phase of Mindreef's work with the consortium involves the creation and availability of an "HR-XML Profile" as a downloadable element for use with Mindreef SOAPscope Server (TM), a team-based platform with tools for governance, testing, diagnostics and support that span the entire service-oriented lifecycle.

Teams at Wachovia, Fidelity National Financial, Charles Schwab, IBM and more than 3,000 enterprises and organizations worldwide use Mindreef products to design, implement and deploy projects faster and achieve pervasive SOA quality. The resulting quality and trust leads to increased adoption and reuse of services throughout the SOA.

Available to HR-XML members for download at http://www.hr-xml.org , the new HR-XML Profile is used early in the development process to provide teams with built-in conformance checks as they design, analyze, test and diagnose Web services using Mindreef SOAPscope Server.

By laying a foundation for quality at the outset, companies can establish a process for success that will become a standard practice as new services are added to their SOA, ensuring consistent trust and reuse.

The consortium is also using the HR-XML Profile for SOAPscope Server to ensure compliance with WS-I profiles throughout the development and testing process, and to capture a diverse range of best practices in custom rules within the HR-XML Profile.

It will become an important part of HR-XML's internal quality control processes going forward and will be valuable for HR-XML members looking to reduce development costs and automate e-business processes for HR-related activities by deploying Web services.

"The HR-XML Profile for Mindreef SOAPscope Server will help drive the wide-scale adoption of XML-based HR industry standards through compliance, interoperability, and best practices," said Chuck Allen, Director of the HR-XML Consortium.

"Mindreef brings tremendous expertise as they work closely with major enterprises and financial service organizations that have adopted SOAPscope Server for Web services development, testing, governance and quality."

"The availability of an HR-XML profile for Mindreef SOAPscope Server is a win-win for Mindreef customers and for HR-XML members seeking to improve the quality and interoperability of their SOA initiatives," said Frank Grossman, co-founder and president of Mindreef.

"HR-XML is a visionary group committed to providing long-term guidance and programs for open data exchange standards based on XML, and we're pleased to partner with them to accelerate Web service interoperability, governance, and SOA quality."
