Mindreef, a provider of software solutions for the successful development of Web services, has revealed its acceptance into the IBM SOA Specialty after successfully meeting IBM's rigorous SOA technical and business requirements. Mindreef's SOAPscope software solutions—including SOAPscope Server, Mindreef Load Check, and Mindreef Policy Rules Manager—integrate with the IBM software and strategy for SOA to help companies increase agility, and ensure trust and confidence in their SOA deployments.

In a related announcement, Mindreef this week introduced SOAPscope Server 6.0 and Load Check. A free whitepaper addressing the importance of agile load checking for SOA quality is available here.

The IBM SOA Specialty provides technical enablement and a skills-building roadmap for partners who want to access the growing SOA market opportunity. Increasingly, business applications require tremendous flexibility to adapt to changing customer demands, regulatory requirements, company policies and competition. SOA provides this flexibility through the facilitation and re-use of application components. Without re-use of services, the proliferation of redundant services can result, increasing the cost and time required to implement even minor changes required by the business environment.

“SOA is an increasingly important business requirement for organisations because of the business flexibility it enables,” said Sandy Carter, Vice President, SOA and WebSphere, IBM Software Group. “Mindreef's commitment to SOA provides their customers with the tools and a flexible architecture that can allow them to increase the effectiveness of their SOA investments.”

Mindreef SOAPscope solutions directly complement IBM's SOA Governance and Best Practices model, adding SOA quality throughout the Define, Assemble, Deploy and Manage phases. Mindreef SOAPscope solutions are used by customers to help validate SOA installations and solve Web services and SOA-related problems quickly and efficiently during all stages of the service lifecycle.

As Web services are deployed, SOAPscope Server is able to interact with the IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository (WSRR). Mindreef products support Web services on any version of IBM WebSphere and can be configured to run in a WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.0 or higher.

“IBM's SOA capabilities reflect a commitment to helping companies achieve agility through high quality, well-performing Web services and composite applications,” said Frank Grossman, Co-founder and CTO of Mindreef. “As an IBM Business Partner, we get tremendous support on education, training and marketing that we can leverage to help customers improve the quality, performance and effectiveness of their SOA implementations.”
