Promotional Pricing for webMethods Infravio X-Registry Lowers the Threshold for Best-in-Class SOA Lifecycle Governance

Gartner Application Integration & Web Services Summit ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--webMethods, Inc. (Nasdaq:WEBM), a leading business integration and optimization software company, today formally introduced the Infravio QuickStart Edition of the webMethods Infravio X-Registry (X-Registry). This promotional packaging of the industry-leading service-oriented architecture (SOA) lifecycle governance solution is available for $99,000 through March 31, 2007. By minimizing the upfront cost of initial adoption, enterprises can take immediate advantage of more effective governance as the foundation for their incremental deployment of SOA.

"For a lower barrier of entry, our QuickStart package is designed to equip enterprises with best-in-class SOA lifecycle governance from the start as a means for achieving sustainable, long-term success," said Lance Hill, general manager of SOA Solutions, webMethods, Inc. "By implementing an effective framework for SOA governance during the early stages of adoption, enterprises can more easily define and share best practices, avoid the subsequent need to recreate services, and automatically capture reuse metrics to guide and justify future investments."

The Infravio QuickStart Edition at-a-glance:
webMethods Infravio X-Registry provides enterprises with a framework for capturing and institutionalizing the processes needed for managing disparate services throughout their lifecycle and across multiple user groups. This makes available services easier to locate, understand and deploy, while offering greater assurances to their long-term performance and suitability. What's more, it provides each SOA stakeholder with a tasked-based environment for tracking, enforcing, managing and automating these policies and processes.

X-Registry is a comprehensive platform for SOA lifecycle governance. It brings together within a single product a UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration protocol), v. 3.0 compliant registry for cataloging business services with a JAXR (Java API for XML Registries) compliant repository for maintaining their associated metadata and policies within a user and machine-accessible format. Furthermore, integrated governance ensures that these policies can be effectively applied across design-time, run-time and change-time environments.

Specific benefits of webMethods Infravio X-Registry include:

Scales SOA across the enterprise -X-Registry more easily facilitates the expansion of SOA across multiple departments, operations and user groups as a means for creating true enterprise-scale SOA.
Enhances service visibility -X-Registry provides invaluable insight into service history, providing users with a richer understanding of their capabilities, performance and dependencies.
Manages the entire service lifecycle - Unlike some products, X-Registry addresses the full SOA lifecycle of design-time, run-time and change-time criteria.
Maintains architectural standards -X-Registry allows enterprises to validate new services for policy compliance at creation and automatically defines approval processes.
Enforces security procedures - With X-Registry, configurable controls limit access to sensitive or confidential material or resources regardless of where the service is invoked or maintained.
Strengthens external partnerships - By securely extending SOA lifecycle governance beyond the firewall, X-Registry helps external trading partners and customers more easily leverage existing services as a means for extending critical business relationships.
Establishes cross-enterprise governance processes - X-Registry enables diverse stakeholder groups to participate in the lifecycle events associated with policies and services, including collaboration, approval and notification.

The Infravio QuickStart Edition encompasses one instance of webMethods Infravio X-Registry consuming no more than two CPUs for $99,000. This license supports up to five named users and 25 registered Web services.
