Service Oriented Architecture Approach Drives Business Agility and Flexibility
WALTHAM, Mass.--Black Duck Software, a leading global provider of software component management solutions, today announced its acceptance to the IBM SOA Specialty after successfully completing IBM’s rigorous SOA (service-oriented architecture) technical and business requirements. With this achievement, Black Duck’s software governance applications, which increase developer efficiency by helping ensure open source and third-party code is reused in the proper manner, can now be integrated with IBM’s software and strategy for SOA.
“SOA is an increasingly important business
requirement for organizations because of the business flexibility it
enables,” said Sandy Carter, vice president,
SOA and WebSphere, IBM Software Group. “Black
Duck’s commitment to SOA provides their
customers with a powerful way to reduce integration costs while rapidly
deploying operational applications.”
“Enterprises using IBM software to support
service-oriented environments can now be assured of full integration
with Black Duck’s protexIP for composite
software development,” said Bill McQuaide,
senior vice president of product development at Black Duck Software. “Our
acceptance into the IBM SOA Specialty builds upon an already strong
relationship between the two companies and underscores Black Duck’s
focus on the enterprise market and supporting large-scale,
business-critical software development.”
For the expanding group of companies that develop applications using
commercial, third-party and open source code components, Black Duck’s
offerings resolve intellectual property, security and other issues as
they occur during development, instead of in the marketplace. Compliance
with IBM’s SOA specialty integrates with and
expands the functionality of IBM Rational’s
SOA Service Lifecycle Management Solution.
