LogicLibrary Accepted into the IBM SOA Speciality Partner Program.

Service Oriented Architecture Approach drives Business Agility and Flexibility

PITTSBURGH -- LogicLibrary, a leader in design-time service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance and software reuse, today announced its acceptance into the IBM SOA Specialty Partner program, after successfully completing IBM's rigorous SOA technical and business requirements. With this achievement Logidex integrates with the IBM SOA Foundation, a single, integrated platform that combines the industry's top application server and integration capabilities.

The IBM SOA Specialty Partner program in the PartnerWorld for Industry Networks provides technical enablement and skills-building roadmap for partners who want to access the growing SOA market opportunity. For those who achieve key milestones, the Specialty will also provide SOA-specific marketing and sales benefits such as SOA Connection Events to meet directly with IBM SOA Sales specialists and discounted print advertising and telemarketing. IBM Sales Connections, a consultative service in the PartnerWorld Industry Networks, helps business partners close SOA deals quickly by connecting them with the relevant IBM SOA and local field sales team.

"SOA is an increasingly important business and architectural requirement for customers in nearly every industry because of the business flexibility it enables," said Sandy Carter, vice president, SOA and WebSphere, IBM Software Group. "Collaboration with partners including LogicLibrary helps to ensure customers have the business and technical resources to successfully use an SOA to respond to meet business goals."

"Being able to provide our customers quantifiable ROI for their SOA services is critical to their long term success with SOA. Better manageability points on SOA demonstrate improved development and project management" said LogicLibrary CEO, Alan Himler.

LogicLibrary's Logidex[TM] is the industry's best-of-breed solution for managing services from architecture and design through deployment. Logidex is a configurable, design-time repository/registry that makes it possible for organizations to actively track and manage services from design through deployment.
