Vendor Selection Based on Product Innovation, Market Impact
Hollis, NH — March 30, 2006 — Mindreef®, Inc., a
leading provider of testing, diagnostic and collaborative solutions for
Web services and service-oriented architectures (SOA), today announced
that it has been named one of the "Cool Vendors in Application
Integration and Middleware, 2006" in a report authored by L. Frank
Kenney, David Mitchell Smith, Ray Valdes and Paolo Malinverno,
published on March 15, 2006 by Gartner, Inc.
According to the report, "a challenge in SOA development has been the
distributed, decentralized nature of SOA systems. To date, much SOA
development in enterprises occurs within the confines of a monolithic
development stack or platform from a single-vendor, or within the
organizational boundary."
"Collaboration is the only way to make SOA work; Mindreef CoralTM
breaks down organizational silos by allowing everyone in the
service-oriented lifecycle to contribute to the Web services
development experience," said Frank Grossman, co-founder and president
of Mindreef. "We believe our highlight in the Cool Vendor report
recognizes the value of Mindreef Coral's ability to bridge the gaps
that exist when SOA teams are working in different organizations, or on
different platforms and in different development environments."
Mindreef Coral is the first and only collaborative team-based suite of
tools for governance, testing, diagnostics and support for Web services
throughout the service-oriented lifecycle. Mindreef Coral is based on
the real-world experiences of thousands of users of Mindreef SOAPscope®,
the company's award-winning diagnostic tool for Web services.
Development teams at Wachovia, Fidelity National Financial, Charles
Schwab, and more than 1,000 companies worldwide use Mindreef products
to successfully build, test, and maintain effective Web services and
SOAs.
