“Every large company in the world is moving down the path to SOA to take advantage of its enormous potential for cost saving and new business opportunities,” said Eric Pulier, chairman and founder of SOA Software.  “As these companies move from pilot to production environments, they need to secure, manage and govern their SOA with a comprehensive Services Infrastructure.  As a Certified Advantage Partner we share Oracle’s vision for enterprise SOA, and are excited to be able to offer our products as important components of the Service Infrastructure.”
SOA is a software design approach that takes the discrete business functions contained in enterprise applications and organizes them into interoperable, standards-based services.  These services can be combined and reused in composite applications and processes to meet business needs.  Service-oriented infrastructure products like those from SOA Software provide essential security, monitoring, management and discovery capabilities to SOA and product families like Oracle Fusion Middleware.
