Sonic and Ascential Demonstrate High-Performance, Integrated Service-Oriented Architecture at Ascential World 2003
ASCENTIAL WORLD 2003, MIAMI, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/-- Sonic Software and Ascential Software Corporation (Nasdaq: ASCL - News) today announced a technology partnership to develop next-generation, real-time business integration solutions. The partnership combines the distributed infrastructure and process management capabilities of Sonic ESB(TM) (enterprise service bus) with the rich data integration of the Ascential Enterprise Integration Suite to allow organizations to streamline and consolidate their data integration processes, reducing time-to-value, risk, cost and on-going maintenance across all of their strategic IT initiatives-anytime, anywhere.
"Increasingly, enterprise organizations are seeking a way to cost- effectively leverage existing enterprise data assets in real-time, and more pervasively than ever before," said Gordon Van Huizen, Chief Technology Officer for Sonic Software. "The combination enabled by Ascential Real-Time Integration (RTI) Services and Sonic ESB is tremendously powerful because it makes it possible for companies to quickly assemble and enrich data in a manner that creates valuable and reusable information, and then makes that information available across the enterprise using the flexible, service- oriented architectures of ESB and RTI."
"Proprietary approaches to business integration are finished. Ascential's relationship with Sonic Software is highly complementary and offers customers a complete, enterprise-scale business process management, messaging and data integration offering," said Bob Zurek, Vice President, Advanced Technologies and Product Management for Ascential Software. "Here at Ascential World 2003, we are showcasing the interoperability of Sonic ESB and SonicMQ® messaging product with Ascential DataStage®, and Ascential QualityStage(TM) using Ascential RTI, demonstrating the compelling value that our combined products deliver."
The companies will demonstrate interoperability of Sonic ESB and the Ascential Enterprise Integration Suite this week during Ascential World 2003 in Miami, FL. Sonic will also be exhibiting and participating in a panel discussion of industry experts entitled, "Discovering the Value of Deploying Service Oriented Architectures for the Enterprise," on Monday, October 27, 3:00-4:00 p.m.
