Mindreef SOAPscope Validates SOA Installations and Accelerates Service Reuse; Demonstrated at the IBM Information On-Demand Global Conference

Hollis, NH and Anaheim, CA — October 16, 2006 — Mindreef®, Inc., which helps organizations drive quality, trust and reuse into their service-oriented architecture (SOA) deployments, is partnering with IBM to support the new IBM Information Server and help customers derive more value from the complex, heterogeneous information spread across their IT systems. The announcement is made in conjunction with this week’s IBM Information on Demand 2006 global conference, where copies of Mindreef SOAPscope® will be available in the IBM Lab for use by conference attendees.

Mindreef is working with IBM to provide its award winning SOAPscope and SOAPscope ServerTM solutions for Web services testing and SOA quality, both of which support IBM Information Server. Together, they provide a scaleable, high performance framework for cleansing, transforming, and delivering high-quality information, applications and Web services consistently and securely throughout the enterprise. IBM Information Server helps companies integrate information so it can be accessed and used in new ways to drive innovation, increase operational efficiency, and lower risk.

Mindreef SOAPscope solutions are used by IBM and its customers to help validate SOA installations and to solve Web services and SOA-related problems efficiently. Mindreef SOAPscope is the only solution available that ensures quality at design-time, change-time and run-time for Web services in a service-oriented architecture. It directly complements IBM’s SOA Governance and Best Practices model, adding SOA quality throughout the Plan, Define, Enable and Measure phases.

"IBM values Mindreef’s ongoing contributions to help our customers maximize the value of their Web services and SOA initiatives," said Pete Fiore, vice president, IBM Information Integration Solutions. "Through our continued work with Mindreef, IBM is able to help companies realize positive returns from their SOA investments to better achieve information integration, efficiency and business agility."

Mindreef is an IBM Advanced Business Partner and its SOAPscope solutions are IBM Server Proven. The company is also an IBM ISV partner in the PartnerWorld Financial Markets and Banking Industry Networks. Teams at Wachovia, Fidelity National Financial, Charles Schwab, Valero Energy, and more than 1,200 organizations worldwide use Mindreef products to successfully build, test, and maintain high-quality Web services and SOAs. The resulting trust in high-quality services leads to increased adoption and reuse of Web services throughout the SOA.

"Mindreef is pleased to be working with IBM to support the launch of IBM Information Server and to provide interoperability with our SOAPscope solutions," said Frank Grossman, co-founder and president of Mindreef. "Mindreef SOAPscope and SOAPscope Server help companies deploying IBM Information Server to more quickly realize returns from their SOA initiatives and achieve maximum business benefit."
