Progress Software Corporation has announced the completion of the acquisition of privately-owned Mindreef Inc., the SOA Quality Company.

Mindreef develops and markets the award-winning Mindreef SOAPscope products, which enable different IT users such as business analysts, system architects, application developers, testers, operations and support staff to build, deploy, and maintain better software at each phase of an SOA, Web service or composite application development lifecycle.

With the combination of Actional and SOAPscope, Progress is the first and only company to address the entire SOA lifecycle with best-in-class SOA quality and validation capabilities and industry-leading runtime governance capabilities, ensuring the success of SOA deployments.

The Mindreef SOAPscope product family comprises SOAPscope Server, SOAPscope Architect, SOAPscope Tester, and SOAPscope Developer and joins the Progress Actional SOA Management product family that provides policy-based visibility, security, and control for services, middleware, and business processes.

This acquisition continues Progress' expansion of its best-in-class SOA Portfolio and strengthens the company's position as a leader in independent, standards-based, heterogeneous, distributed SOA infrastructure.

Dan Foody, vice president, Actional Products, Progress Software, commented: "Mindreef has created one of the most successful SOA quality and validation products, used by more than 3,000 customers, with core strengths in the pre-production phases of the SOA lifecycle. Progress Actional SOA Management products, in contrast, have core strengths in the production phase, where independent industry analysts Gartner and Forrester Research consider Actional products to be leaders. With more than 100 Mindreef customers added each month and with Actional growing at more than 100 percent, by bringing these products lines together Progress addresses the complete SOA lifecycle with the strongest offering for every lifecycle phase."
