SOA by UDDI specification author
(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 23, 2005 ) TAMPA, Fla. –– Onyx Environmental Services, a leading hazardous waste disposal service company, announced today that it has selected Skyway Software Inc., a provider of Integrated Services Management (ISM) Platforms, as its provider for building in-house applications, portlets, and customer focused web services that expand their iSeries (AS/400) applications utilizing DB2/400 data.
The CIO, Robert Lowe, at Onyx states “We’re very pleased with what Skyway Software has to offer today and what it has in the pipeline for the future. Onyx has been challenged with providing higher levels of customer information services with a limited amount of technical resources. Using Skyway Software to write composite business services and applications, we will now be able to more quickly respond to user and customer requests while effectively managing Onyx business functions and web services throughout the enterprise.”
According to Jared Rodriguez, CEO of Skyway, “The Skyway platform provides the ability to not only quickly combine services and construct new solutions from scratch, but also enables the distribution and management of services. Imagine taking a large amount of enterprise logic and distributing it as sets of services across the enterprise and beyond – not just as web services that are highly interoperable, but also as native services where performance is a key factor. The need to track and manage those services then becomes a huge complexity. With Skyway, services can be created, tracked and managed throughout the enterprise. As a company’s SOA scales to tens, hundreds and thousands of services inside its enterprise and beyond; Skyway scales managing the enterprise effectively.”
“As part of an evaluation process during Skyway’s try-then-buy period Onyx found that Skyway Software really understood the challenges facing many IT organizations - the need to quickly develop standards-based applications and web services without the complexities normally associated with the development of J2EE. Skyway Software has proven itself to be customer focused and responsive to our needs. Skyway Software will allow us to tightly integrate our application between legacy databases and new databases. Other tools that we reviewed did not offer practical ways to integrate legacy databases. Plus, Skyway Software does not require a large learning curve to generate production-ready applications and services,” adds Lowe.
In fact, Skyway’s team has a successful history of developing proven industry winners. Skyway’s principal investor, Daniel Aegerter, and CEO, Jared Rodriguez, were the founding partners of Tradex Technologies, which was acquired by Ariba in 2000 for $5.4 billion. Since its 2001 formation, Skyway has been intensely researching web services and differentiates itself by being the only platform built specifically for creation, deployment and management of SOA.
Lowe also comments, “Skyway Software provides us the platform needed to successfully increase productivity while cutting development costs through codeless creation of J2EE web services and applications, leveraging varied skill sets, as well as jumpstarting our SOA journey.”
Along side their teams, CIOs are starting to experience many benefits of Skyway Software…
* Flexibility and agility – Ensure Business and IT alignment with a non-proprietary, Standards driven SOA platform!
* Faster development – Fastest possible J2EE RAD environment on the market!
* Cost responsiveness - Lowest possible TCO. Proven customer testimonials of a 10X increase in productivity and 60% decrease in development costs!
Rodriguez explains, “Skyway addresses integration and manageability, providing seamless compatibility with any application architecture. Skyway Software also reduces costs associated with custom application development and management by providing an easy to use, approachable platform that enables custom applications to be extended and management in and beyond the enterprise. The Skyway platform provides application modeling rather than traditional coding which allows you to rapidly build, manage and deploy high decoupled services and processes throughout today’s heterogeneous enterprises. Now developers can focus on business logic, assembling and linking processes together; resulting in highly flexible and scalable services that can be discovered and reused throughout the enterprise.”
