"webMethods has long recognized the opportunity for enterprises to extend reuse to their entire portfolio of IT assets, including services, business rules and processes, data and infrastructure. This is in sharp contrast with our competition's more limited view of reuse," said David Mitchell, president and CEO, webMethods, Inc. "This acquisition advances our vision for reuse by enabling us to offer our customers the most advanced, standards-based technology for managing the underlying metadata that is essential to the reuse of all IT assets."

"Despite the image typically presented by most modeling tools, business processes are both dynamic and transitory. With each component of the process possessing its own rules, parameters, and interrelationships, which frequently change based on a variety of circumstances, more complex processes simply breakdown due to the incompatibility of many of these interrelationships," said Marc Breissinger, CTO, webMethods, Inc. "When used to enrich a specific process, semantic metadata helps overcome inconsistencies by providing a higher level of agreement to meaning and intent. This allows for the richer orchestration of the transactions and interactions that fundamentally define the process. The end result is that semantic metadata enables higher levels of automation, more assured decision-making and greater efficiency throughout the process."
